What does Jesus say about Anxiety in the bible

The bible talks about anxiety and what to do about your fears, one passage that might be helpful to you is what Jesus said to his disciples:

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?’” (Luke 12:22-26, NIV)

Whats has worry done for you? Has it added anything to your life? Why not have faith that there is a bigger plan and you need not worry about the small things?
