Commitments Are Costly

Luke 9:62

Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”

Lord,
Draw near today to all who face a  difficult decision
Enter into my world of confusion
Help me make good judgements
Especially when i want to change 
The promises  I  made yesterday today
I think of those  to whom I  have made  a commitment 
a brother 
a sister
a son
a daughter
a wife
a husband
Help me see their situation  when I wish to renegotiate what has been agreed

Lord,
I think of others  to whom I  have committed.
People to whom I have promised 
financial help,
or  to make an introduction,
or write a letter,
or make a telephone call.
People to whom I  promised a visit
or  to tell the truth. 
I think of these and the number of times 
I have forgotten to honour my promises

Draw alongside me today
Remind me of my promises
Give me the courage to keep my word
Even when it world to my disadvantage.
Give me the courage and the faith
To keep my commitments
