Feeling secure from Allah's plan is one of the major sins and can even amount to disbelief (kufr). If the fear is entirely absent from a person's heart, that would constitute disbelief. However, if their statement is due to the intensity of their hope and a weak deterrent of fear — while the root of fear still exists in their heart — then they are among those who commit sins.
