Dr. Sabrina Romanoff, a clinical psychologist and professor at Yeshiva University, says “Don’t sweat the small stuff” means not to focus your energy on things that don’t hold significant importance in your life. The idea is that the time and energy spent worrying is usually disproportionate to those things that are in our lives.

Paul said he takes living as a Christian by way of the suffering that comes with life on earth. When we accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we gained enemies. And the Devil placed a target on us. But God does not allow him to take us under. Nor does He put any more on us than we can bear. He won’t let anybody else put a heavy load on us either. So, don't sweat the small stuff; stuff that doesn't edify or glorify God.
