I accidentally broke a probable promise. My mind or me made a thought like " I wont buy food from THIS street or have any business with any indoor place in that street" while I was thinking that a punishment i fear would happen. it happened so fast and randomly. i don't know if i was saying this to myself or to God. and then i was like " ok i wont do it" "ok its easy for me to avoid that street".
i somehow accepted the thought.

i accidentally broke the promise yesterday by ordering food from a fast food on THAT SPECIFIC street. i thought it was on another street. i am now a little worried. a lot of coincidences happened in the past that made me think that this punishment may happen or happened. you can check my story in an older topic. please pray for me

God is merciful and forgiving. I would not make vows though as Jesus Christ advised against it (Matthew 5:33-37). We never know what the future will hold so that's why we don't want to say we won't or will do this (at least not without qualifying it with "God Willing"; see James 4:15).

I accidentally broke a probable promise.

Please can you explain what is so hostile to Christianity in the shops in that street?
Are they fronts for brothels or drug dens?

God gave us all intelligence so we can live for him. He is not impressed by promises to do this or not do that.
What he wants is for us to serve him from hearts thatlove him and freely obey him.

Don't make promises about unimportant things.
