Okay so a couple of years ago I made some promises to God about something thats bothering me right now, and I ended up breaking those promises, but problems and things were happening that prevented me from being able to keep them and I just felt that I had to let them go. Its just that God said that he was going to give me something. So I made promises towards it, because I thought it was something that was going to last forever but it didn't and now I was unable to keep those promises. I asked for forgiveness for those promises that I've made, but I still can't help but feel terrible about them. I keep praying and praying and talking to God so many times about it, but I'm just not even sure what to think about it anymore or what I should do. I want to feel some relief about it, but the thoughts just always keeps coming back to haunt me. I feel like I'm really about to cry right now. I'm afraid I'm cursed or something. Its scaring me. I know it was a prayer that I made some promises on about something that I want in life, he answered a prayer that I thought that was going to complete that want, and now I'm afraid that I messed things up and that it won't ever be meant for me to get what I want anymore, since I broke some promises like that.

Also is it true that God gives you signs? I know this might sound silly to everyone, but like if you ask God is something going to happen and then you ask him to let you hear a sound or to make some kind of sign like that. Is it really true that he can show you things in those kind of ways when you ask for a sign like that? Like you ask him a question and he lets you hear a sound? I think its true that he can do this, because I think it worked a couple of times. So just because he made me hear sounds those other times and those things happened that I asked him about? Then does that mean that every time this will work? Because this is making me really nervous and I'm not even really sure to be able to know when he gives a sign anymore or if its meant to be a sign or not.

Please someone out there help me with all of this. I'm really about to have a break down right now. Just any helpful advice you can give me or send me a message too if you would like. Anything is good. Although if you send me a message that would be better and then I can go more into detail about everything.
