Anxiety not only distresses it distracts.
And in distracting, it keeps you from doing the good works God has prepared for you.
God regularly exhorts us to avoid fear and worry over the things out of our control so we would carry out what we can actually influence.
Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you.
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
