"So be humble under God's powerful hand. Then he will lift you up when the right time comes. Give all your worries to him, because he cares for you." -1 Peter 5:6-7 Problems can be an idol in your life if you keeping thinking about them over God. You should protect your mind from them, but if they take over your mind, humbly ask God for help, admitting you can't do it on your own. God wants your worries, as he cares for you, so keep giving those worries to Him. It might take a while, but if you keep going, you'll start to think more about God, as God lives to help those who come to him.
