“God doesn’t say, “Don’t worry too much” or “Worry only about what really matters.” He says, “Do not worry.”

“While dissatisfaction implies either rejection or frustrated pursuit of satisfaction, unsatisfaction is something more like acceptance combined with anticipation. It is acknowledgement of desire without the demand that it be satisfied--a kind of openness that doesn't ask for closure. It is desire that can live with deferral, an embrace of the God-shaped vacuum in us and a commitment to stop trying to make it full, a healthy hunger that is content to wait for the feast.”

“Worry is not the same as fear; it’s the practice of indulging fear, clinging to it, feeding and serving”
