I did something where I said, "If I do this sinful act, make this undesirable thing happen." I later thought that making a deal like that had been unrealistic and broke it. Now I sometimes re-think it...Will anything happen?

I think everyone who believes in God has made a deal with him at some point... only they are usually the opposite of yours.. like please God, if you fix this problem, I promise I will never (blank) again...
and yes, I know they get broken... i have done it. God doesnt expect us to be perfect... repent and u will be fine

God knows your intentions. He was already aware that you wouldn't be able to fulfill a promise you had made. If He punish you because you have broken agreement, He would not be a God of glory. The Lord knows the difficulties of this world. We pray to Him for help and forgiveness, and to thank you Him.. Also let me add that our Lord can show the light in which it teaches us our ways. Do not accept it as a punishment, but as what he want us to know.
In actuality you can't make deals with our Lord God, because he already have plans for each of us. If our Lord listen to your petition,and if He see a need for you to have it, thank Him, because what He gives you, He can take it away as well.
Talk to God about the deal you had made and ask forgiveness.

The way I understand it, God doesn't do deals with anyone. But he does forgive us for our weaknesses. If you feel you have let him down in some way, then pray for forgiveness. When you do this though you must be truly sorry for what ever you did. Just remember there is only you and God that knows if you are truly sorry. You might be able to fool yourself, but there is no fooling God.

You shouldnt make commitments to God that there is any possibility you cannot keep. They Bible says not to swear because only evil comes from it. However, God is very forgiving and if you truly love and believe in God then if you ask for forgivness and for protection from evil and bad things then God will protect you and listen.

God will forgive you. Try not to make deals with God, even tho he does honor some. I've sworn to God never to lie again, broke it, God still loves me. I don't lie now because I want to serve him, not because he gets me out of jams, which he has done too.

don't get into those can provide. many times they're puzzling interior the long-term to stay with via with. in case you purely won't be in a position to do the promise, somewhat of breaking it and betraying God, clarify to him which you do not decide to offend him by breaking his have confidence, and ask if he will ignore with regards to the promise, as you won't be able to circulate via with it. additionally, it might desire to be sturdy to work out a non secular chief (Priest, minister, deacon,)Reverendsscuss this concern. I actually have a project with this. God Bless

i had, i even use my religion's holy book. but i broke the deal and nothing has yet happened to me. i also used to be a devout person, but i stopped believing since i was 15. i also had asked "God" to show himself in order to make me believe him but he never showed up. in my opinion, those undesirable things happen only if you want it to happen.

I never make deals with God or anyone I know I can't keep. I simply don't make them in the first place!

Gosh, all the time. So I have learned not to make deals with God. I cannot keep them. I am totally dependent of His mercy and grace. I am a good example of the person who needs God for the salvation. : )

Not really sure- I never make "deals" with God. The Bible tells us that it's better to never have made a promise than make one and not keep it.
