These feelings often arise when we sense a threat.
This is amplified when we have no control over what happens.
If you were in control you would just take action and do something to resolve the threat.

You are not alone in any situation you find yourself in.
And if you have no control over something that happens, it is because you do not have to be in control in that situation.
Let the universal / divine intelligence flow and unfold the situation. Your job is to stay calm and centered.
Will you trust it? Will you allow
