I am putting in a new, replacement, garage door opener. There are currently wires that go from the control panel, into the wall, up, and come out of the ceiling above the motor unit. I would like to just re-use these wires, since I don't know how I would get wires through the wall, and it would look better than stapled wires up the wall.
The problem is that the old wires are 24 gauge. The wires that came with the new unit are 22 gauge. So would it be a bad thing to use these wires?

There is only one way to find out: do it and see what happens.
That's how I do things.
