To be singleminded is to be unmindful. Mindfulness is keeping many different things in mind and observing their relations and proportions. To conquer is to be careless. Carefulness is holding oneself and one’s acts in appropriate relation and proportion to the many other beings and intentions. -- Ursula K. Le Guin, Always Coming Home (357-8)

“Now listen. People with nine lives are very important and very rare. They only happen when, for one reason or another, there are no counterparts of them living in any other world. Then the lives that would have been spread out over a whole set of worlds get concentrated in one person. And so do all the talents that those other eight people might have had.”
Cat said, “But I haven't any talents,” and Janet said at the same time, “How rare are these people?”
“Extremely rare,” said Chrestomanci. “Apart from Cat, the only other person with nine lives that I know of on this world is myself.”
“Really?” Cat was pleased and interested. “Nine?”
“I did have nine. I've only got two now. I was even more careless than Cat,” Chrestomanci said. He sounded a little ashamed. “Now I have to take care to keep each life separately in the safest place I can think of. I advise Cat to do the same.”
Janet's ready brain promptly got to work on this. “Is one life here, and the other downstairs having supper at this moment?”
Chrestomanci laughed. “It doesn't work like that.”

Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion
Devotional for January 20, 2021
And she made this vow: “O LORD of Heaven's Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign that he has been dedicated to the LORD, his hair will never be cut.” - 1 Samuel 1:11
Insight
Be careful what you promise in prayer because God may take you up on it. Hannah so desperately wanted a child that she was willing to strike a bargain with God. God took her up on her promise, and to Hannah's credit, she did her part, even though it was painful. Although we are not in a position to barter with God, he may still choose to answer a prayer that has an attached promise.
Challenge
When you pray, ask yourself: “Will I follow through on any promises I make to God if he grants my request?” It is dishonest and dangerous to ignore a promise, especially to God. God keeps his promises, and he expects you to keep yours.

Rev. James Smith’s Daily Bible Readings for the Lord’s Household (1841–1850)
I would have you without carefulness. - 1 Corinthians 7:32
Anxiety, or carefulness, is very injurious; it divides the heart, distracts the mind, chokes the word, leads to distrust, and destroys our peace. It is inconsistent with our profession; we have resigned all into the hands of the Lord, and should leave all to His blessing.
We should do everything as for the Lord, and consider our families, our property, and our business, as the Lord's; so should we be holy and enjoy peace. Anxiety, or inordinate care, dishonours God; it reflects upon His sufficiency to supply all--upon His omniscience to discover all--upon His authority and ability to manage all--upon His mercy, bounty, and liberality, as if He would leave us to want--upon His veracity, fidelity, and immutability, as though His word may be forfeited or His promise broken. Carefulness injures our own souls - it is opposed to contentment and resignation - it nourishes impatience and unbelief - it hinders our usefulness, and hardens our hearts - it cuts off supplies, and procures the rod and the frown.
We should therefore aim to be without CAREFULNESS, for the Lord careth for us.
How sweet to have our portion there, Where sorrow never comes, nor care, And nothing will remove! We then may hear without a sigh, The world's destruction to be nigh - Our treasure is above.
