Prayer Thoughts for the Heart

A commitment is something we make every day and we are to continue to carry out previous commitments we have made. We make a very important commitment when we accept Jesus Christ into our heart and life. Other commitments we make in our life time, are when we get married, have children, take a job, buy a house, and on and on we could go with this list.

Our commitment to Jesus is how we will show others that we are Believers. Our commitment is what will hold our marriage together, when we are falling in and out of love, because love will have its ups and downs. Our commitments, our honesty, and our caring about others will help to keep our friendships intact.

Most commitments are for a life time and some of them are easy and some are very hard at times. We must commit our commitments to the Lord and seek His help in keeping them. He has promised that His commitments to us are forever and will never change.

He said that He would never leave us or forsake us and His Spirit lives in us. The Holy Spirit is our teacher when we are studying the Scriptures. We will also need help from others, so we can be faithful to the commitments we have made.

If we don’t have a certain level of commitment to all that we do, we are a failure to ourselves and to others and to God.

Proverbs 16:3 RSV).
