Worry and stress are not my middle names!

So I have been having the hardest time trying to not worry and destress my life. Everyday, it seems as though there is something to worry or stress out over. If I didn't know better, you would think it would be best to be naive. They say that knowledge is power...but what kind of power. I think to me, it has taken over my mind. You always hear of the effects that worrying and stress do to the body. I consider myself to be pretty smart and well educated, so why can't I master this? It has haunted me for as long as I can remember. And to add to it, now that I am married, it seems as though I worry and stress even more...AUGGGGGG! I try to keep my life on a consistent schedule, but of course, that never works. What should I do? I know that it's in the Lord's hands, EVERYTHING. I should truly rest in that, but that is something that is so hard for me. That's like asking a carpenter to preform brain surgery, virtually impossible. I know, I know, with God, he makes the impossible- possible. But how do I take that small step, in the right direction, when in my mind I have a huge mountain to tackle. Yes, I could quote scriptures all day long, but what physical action do I need to take. Yes, I know that I need to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and lean not to my own understand. But when that little bit of fear starts to creep in, what should I do... when singing doesn't help, praying doesn't help... reading the Bible doesn't seem to cut it. And on top of all that, I feel alone. Just trying to let you know what's in my head...complex thoughts sometime, but I am trying to be humble and admit that I need help. The first step to recovery is admitting the problem. Give me your comments; I want to know what you think, or your opinion.
