GEN1516 Worry is a trait which is evil in most of its manifestations, and it shows on one’s face, as it is written [this verse], and Nechemiah 2:2: Why is your face fallen if you are not sick?” One of the Sages said: “I do not find a trace of worry at all in those men of exalted spirit.” Worry over attaining anything in this world is extremely reprehensible and is not found at all in those who trust in Hashem and believe in Him. … The worst of all worries is pursuing transgressions and worrying and suffering in not attaining all his heart’s desires, for all who worry and grieve over this world are very far from Torah, mitzvos, and prayer. Therefore, one must take great heed to correct this trait and remove it from himself.
