I worry when I—

Add: more things to the already full schedule; pressure to my image and reputation; your expectation to my agenda; when I have to live up to what you have to be – makes me angry.

Subtract: God’s presence for my crisis; his timing for my desires; prayer for my day; perspective from the moment of difficulty. – makes me doubt.

Multiply: my problems by inserting my solutions too rapidly, look for a way out instead of way thru; fears with my imagination [‘what if, but maybe’ statements] – makes me afraid.

Divide: life into the secular and sacred – makes me forget.
