VOWS
Pr 20:25 It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly and only later to consider his vows.
The Bible takes vows very seriously. (Like if you vow "till death do us part", God will hold you to that)
Deut 23:21-23 "If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the LORD your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from making a vow, you will not be guilty. Whatever your lips utter you must be sure to do, because you made your vow freely to the LORD your God with your own mouth."
Therefore consider carefully the implications prior to making promises to God.
Ecc 5:4-6 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
