Fear not the promises that we think we can’t keep. Focus on the promises that God makes that he can keep and that he can empower us to keep. When we try to practice bhakti to connect with Krishna, we may think, “How can I be sure that I will practice this lifelong?” Instead of worrying about our ability to keep our promises, we can focus on God’s ability to keep his promises that he will elevate us if we surrender to him. And he won’t ask us to surrender if he thinks we can’t surrender. By focusing on his power to help us keep our promises, we can get the confidence to make the promises that can take us to him.
(Inspired by Bhagavad-Gita 18.66)
***
18.66 Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.
