ANXIETY
A general feeling of apprehension about the immediate or eventual future, without discernable cause for the fear. the moral evaluation of anxiety begins with the exercise of prudence, to discover if there are valid grounds for the apprehension. If there are not, to act on the anxiety or fail to act because of it would be a lack of trust in God's providence.
