Worry is an unhealthy and destructive mental habit.
Norman Vincent Peale -
Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.

When we are worried and filled with apprehension, we become panicky and are likely to see only gloom and failure.

God gives you the ability to think rationally about things by filling you with peace and faith.
