My thoughts.
When make a promise to the Lord we should keep it but Jesus did say it is better not to make promises because we may break them.

1 Samuel 1:23

23 Elkanah, Hannah’s husband, said to her, “Do what you think is best. ·You may stay home until the boy is old enough to eat [Stay until you have weaned him].

These are my thoughts.
The Lord does not us to be able to live up to our commitments over night sometimes they take time, we just need to follow Him and He will never lead us astray.

When we do make a comment to the Lord we need to carry it out and does it well not just do it because we said we would.
