Be careful what you promise in prayer because God may take you up on it.
In the Bible 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.
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.
The bottomline: God keeps His promises, and He expects you to keep yours.
