"Take no thought for your life" -- Jesus
"Keep your mind on the 'much more' of your heavenly Father" -- Oswald Chambers
Worry is idolatry, a kind of paganism, really. Jesus said that worrying is something "the Gentiles" do, the kind of thing people might do if they knew nothing about the God of the Bible. But worry can have no part in the life of the Christ-follower, a beloved child of the heavenly Father.
Seeing how and when God provides might be intriguing sometimes, but it should never be worrisome. If God is really the kind of Person we read about in Scripture, the ultimate outcome can never be in question. The only question is one of means, never if but how.
