The answer

There is no objection to saying "Tell Allah your worries," because it encourages those in distress to ask Allah and confide their sorrows to Him. It is like the intimate supplication (munajat) and addressing [God] mentioned in hadiths and the words of thefious predecessors, and what is meant by it is supplication (du'a). It has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that the believer intimately supplicates his Lord in prayer, and that intimately supplicating Allah means addressing Him, and that there is no intermediary between the servant and his Lord. And Jesus, peace be upon him, encouraged the disciples to frequently supplicate Allah and invoke Him.
