Making Commitments To The Lord

      Commit thy way to the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
                       ~ Psalm 37:5

      O, remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, in thy youth learn to keep the keep the commandments of God.
      Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be unto the Lord; yea, let thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
       Counsel with the Lord in all doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy hear the full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
            ~Alma 37:35-37

        Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works.
            ~Jacob 4:10


Ideas To Help Keep Your Commitments To The Lord
-Pray every morning and night recommitting yourself to the Lord
-Create a love for the gospel e.g. Jesus, God, the prophet, the Book of Mormon, the Holy Ghost, etc.
-Search for and record the tender mercies from God from the day
-Think of the goals, end results or blessings you want to achieve and would lose, or make it harder to get if you don't keep the commitment. (Eternal life, returning to Heavenly Father, peace, etc.)
