How many times have I promised to pray for something or for somebody and let the busyness of daily life allow me to fail to keep this promise? What then is this promise but a lie? A sin?
Above all, my brothers, do not swear - not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned. James 5:12
I am realizing the utter importance of following through on the promise to pray. Maybe it means praying with that person right there and then (that I need to get much better at doing). Maybe it means praying for the person or situation before I send them an email that says that I'm praying.
What it definitely doesn't mean is putting it off until I can 'find the time', as that time will never be found.

Hey Melissa,
Thanks for commenting on my comment, although I messed up on Hannah, who had more after Samuel, which wasn't the point. I can get quite frustrated with legalistic mindsets. In matthew it says blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Thanks sister in Christ, for the comfort. Also, I don't know what God has in store for you, but I pray that his will be done in your life. Heaven holds much more blessings than this earth ever will.
