Procrastinate No More – Why Put Off For Tomorrow What You Can Do Today?

Stop Procrastination and Tap Into Your Enormous God Given Potential!

stop procrastinationProcrastination is rarely our friend.

Why do we all have the natural tendency to…

do things tomorrow –

 instead of today?

Have you been putting off…

crucial activities…

and decisions in your life?

The Procrastination Trap

Often times we postpone our work and our choices in order to avoid discomfort. Sometimes we stall because of self-doubt or a sense of inadequacy associated with the task at hand. Other times, we simply lack the needed motivation to get started.

Whatever the reason, procrastination usually has negative consequences and simply creates stress as the projects and decisions begin to pile up…

And then there are spiritual consequences when we procrastinate. Important tasks in our church or volunteer organizations may be left undone and we may become a stumbling block to others. Our spiritual growth may slow to a stop, and worse of all, we may miss out on the blessing of God.

This is why we need to move beyond our fears and personal inadequacies and allow God to work in our lives.  Once we admit our weaknesses to our heavenly Father, He is faithful to help us overcome them.

Put a Stop to Procrastination

If you find that procrastination is negatively affecting your life, then first confess this problem and turn it over to God. Then, try to identify the areas of your life in which you procrastinate. Ask yourself what feelings accompany your lack of motivation in these areas? Are you afraid, angry, bitter, or resentful?

Once we are ready to submit these emotions to God, He is ready to help us remove them from our lives. Then we have to choose to do today what we know to do, instead of making choices on the basis of feelings. The next time you do not ‘feel’ like working, stop and ask God to provide the godly motivation you need.

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might.” — Ecclesiastes 9:10

Tomorrow is never guaranteed, and that helps explain the urgency felt in the above verse. Whatever task we may have at hand, we need to respond by doing it now and doing it well. Take whatever God has put in your hand and use it, without delay and without reserve, for the Lord.

God created us all with enormous potential to do great things. But if we want to tap into the potential that is currently beyond where we are now, we have to take action with the gifts and talents and opportunities God puts in front of us.

The clock is ticking. Don’t put off for tomorrow what you can do today. Especially do not procrastinate in serving the Lord; ask Him every morning for his help.  Whatever God has put on your heart to do today; do it now with all your might and put a stop to procrastination.

May God give you the motivation to do today, what needs to be done today, so you can tap into your potential and manifest a life of growing prosperity!

God bless you,
