I am trying to figure this out. I have never thought of being anxious as being prideful. However, the idea makes sense. If I am anxious, it's because I am worried about whether or not something is going to happen. If I allow God to be in control by humbling myself, then I would not worry. It's not about my will, it's about His.
1 Peter 5:6-7
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”[a]
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
