Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.
Prayer Thinking Differences
I would love to have a more earnest prayer life! in my life, prayer is the single most difficult discipline. i love god and there's something in me that would rather do things for god than talk to god. i'm not by nature a mystical, devotional person. i like to do things. and so it's a challenge for me to have a faithful prayer life, but i know god loves me and he's not mad at me. he just wishes i would slow down and turn things over to him. and that's what i think you achieve through prayer.
Prayer Thinking Discipline
I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.
