I worry all the time too, I know how problematic it can be.
This is what I find most helpful:
Whenever you find yourself worrying, especially when you can't sleep, write all those worries down in a list. Then go through the list and cross out all the worries you can't do anything about. For example, if one of your worries is 'I think I did badly in a test' or something irrational like 'I'm worried about terrorism' (irrational in the sense that it is totally out of your control) then cross it off because there's nothing you can do about it now.
Then go back through the list and write solutions next to the worries you CAN do something about. For example, next to something like 'I haven't done my homework' write 'first thing tomorrow I will go and speak to my teacher about the problems I am having with this homework and ask for help/an extension.' Or next to 'I'm having problems at work', write 'tomorrow I will speak to my boss'.
Another thing I find helpful is to talk through my 'worry list' with someone. An outsider might be able to offer you some perspective on your worries and make you realise that alot of them aren't as bad as you think or are irrational.
I find that once I've covered these worries and thought them through properly, it's much easier to put them out of my mind, at least temporarily.
If you're still struggling with your worries then it's time to see a doctor. You might need some form of therapy to help ease your anxiety.

What exactly are you scared off?
you shouldn't be scared of anything....Prayer..constantly walk with God...they fact that you worry about everything, would eventually turn in paranoia..
You have to remind yourself that they is nothing to worry about, that they is someone walking with you and that you are safe

There's many solutions to your problem, and this could be more than worry, if it gets serious, I would see a doctor immediately. You could become paranoid, and I've seen cases of this happening.
You seem to focus all your thoughts on negative things.. But say to yourself, when was the last time anything SERIOUSLY TERRIBLE actually happened? And was it out of your control? Was it something you, as an individual, could have prevented?
Relaxation and peace of mind is what you're looking for, I'm guessing.
I'm not a religious person, first of all, but meditation is not necessarily a 'spiritual' activity. If you are religious, meditation in your church would work also. Prayer also. But if you're like me, find a quiet, simple place in your home, or around town (park maybe?), and think your live over as a whole. Think about what is happening at that moment, the good and the bad. See that the good will aaalways outdo the bad. Realize events as they come, and as they say.. live in THE MOMENT. Don't think of the future or of the past. Think of the now. The present time.
This may seem stupid or dorky, but when you get that self-analyzation and view on your life, you'll see that worrying about the bad will ruin what's happening now.
This is blunt, but you can worry your life away, and you'll never get a thing done, and when something good DOES happen, you won't be aware of it. You'll be tooooo busy thinking of what will happen next. Wasting your time visualizing the future doesn't get you anywhere.
Come to see that no matter how much you worry over things, they'll liable to happen, just because you thought of the same thing (COINCIDENCE), doesn't mean you could've done something to stop it. If you learn to stop worrying, it'll help you in the future.
Have you ever worried about something happening, and then you were right.. So you kick yourself for not doing something earlier?
If the initial worries don't exist, the future guilt and the eventual regret won't exist either.
