Do you break your promises?

Answer 1

I can not say I never break my promise but I have enough guts to say that I rarely break a promise I have given.

Answer 2

No, I don't break my promises because I don't make any promises. Instead I say "Lod willing I will __________" fill in the blank.

James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit"-- 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."

Matthew 5:33 "Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.'

34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything more than this comes from evil.

Answer 3

I will never use the word promise unless i know for a fact it cannot be broken. So basically never use it, because things happen and if I cannot keep that word "promise" sacred then what is the use. For example i can promise to do all that I can to make things right, but cant promise that things will be right. Too many factors in life to have a promise broken even if not broken by the one who said it.

Answer 4

Never - no matter what length or stretch I have to make to follow through, I always keep a promise. If I promise something to someone, it's a promise and to break it would let them down would be crushing. When you make something as strong as a promise - something you absolutely 100% guarantee, how can you change your mind and break that?

I always keep promises and I don't make promises that I can't keep.

Answer 5

It depends on the promise, I try not to break a promise but it happens and it depends how important it is. Like I might spend another hour on the computer when I promised to be done with it. At the very least, I am honest. I don't spread gossip, and I am asked to make several promises a day, which I am demanded to take and it drives me nuts..

Answer 6

I never intentionally break a promise, but I would be lying to myself if I said that I never have broken a promise.
Sometimes we make promises and through whatever circumstance, we can not fulfill them.

Answer 7

Some times.

Answer 8

No, I do not break promises. I try to say what I mean and mean what I say.

Answer 9

I never make promises because I found out in childhood that people break them more often than keep them.

Answer 10

I have broken promises. I have learned to not try to please people and hence make promises that I can't always keep. It is a good way to avoid having to break them.
