try not to make deals with God

Try not to make deals with God. If he's real he is a heck of a negotiator; if he is a figment of your subconscious you direct him how to favor his side of the deal to his advantage. In either case you start the bargaining process from weakness. Desperate to save a loved one, a dieing child or some other such situation; you approach God or pray to him do just this one miracle and you promise to give up anything else. Later when it's time to pay, even though miraculously God pulled off his side of the deal; your payment to God seems excessive. Often your side is a loss to you of something you held dear.
It's human nature to pray when you are desperate. It's just and fair to expect to have to pay or sacrifice something if you pray and your prayers are answered. The cost you pay if you are granted a miracle is the buyers remorse that occurs long after your desperation has dissipated.
