Lord,
it must be really easy for You, keeping all Your promises... since You're God and everything. but for me, it's really hard, because i'm selfish and forgetful. i know there's more to it than that, and i know this is a massive and complex request, and i realize that i may not even know what i'm asking right now...
...but i'd really like to be able to do what i say. every time. i'd really like to be able to keep my promises. i'd really like to be able to dedicate myself to something for more than a few weeks.
so God, my request right now is, please make my 'yes' mean 'yes.'
if that means some hard training, and more mistakes, and disappointment and shame, then so be it.
thank You for hearing me again, and for giving me enough faith to pray.
amen.
