A Prayer for Procrastionators

A Prayer for Procrastionators You should’ve been done with this yesterday. And, you could’ve been done the yesterday before that. But, for some reason, your brain keeps kicking the job further down your “to-do” list. After all, what’s one more day? Each day you put it off, it gets a little bit harder to pick it back up. After all, there are so many better things you’d rather be doing. It’s hard to make time for this. Plus, you work better under pressure. Maybe you just need more time to *think* about it. Or, maybe there’s even a part of you that’s just worried: what if you’re really bad at it? Thoughts like these can make a procrastinator’s avoidance tendencies go into overdrive, causing us to push the job off even more (for real, though, how long do you think it took to write this prayer?). Thankfully, we can come to God with these worries too, and ask for his strength— and some supernatural focus— to set out and do our work well. While you still might procrastinate a little, maybe this verse and prayer will help you out when it’s time to hunker down and really get things done.
