The procrastination struggle!
That moment when you procrastinate writing a procrastination blog post... The struggle is real. The battle is intense. I've fallen over and over to it, hoping each time I rise will be one of permanent victory. I have procrastinated dealing with my procrastination issues. Oh boy, I need help. I need Jesus.
I know I have this pressing thing to do, it has to be done, later I say, and later becomes later, until it's much later and it sometimes costs me dearly. You would think I learn from it right? Wrong...
We know what it means to procrastinate, it's more popular than it should be. But just why do we procrastinate? I do because of my perfectionist ways. I would rather not attempt it if I'm not sure or at least 90% sure of success. I wasn't always like that though. I used to be willing to try, I'm that stubborn girl who's just gonna try it because you said otherwise.
I got an email subscription this morning that helped me to remember something of great importance. I can't control everything therefore I have to trust the One who can and does.
The Bible is quite candid regarding its heroes. God makes us privy to the totality of some of the best people in the Bible. The good, bad and indifferent. This helps us to know that in spite of all we are or aren't we, too, are overcomers by His power when we trust Him.
What can we do about it? It can't be said enough, so it always has to be said. Lean not on your own understanding. Walk by faith and do what needs to be done. Do not fear because God is with us. No matter how simple the task. Get on with it. Give it your all, your best. Always give your best in life. Let off days be limited to just that and quit procrastinating. Especially the important things.
Pray this simple prayer with me: Dear Lord, help me to quit procrastinating. To prioritize and do what needs to be done. Help me commit to being my best and always doing the best I can. I thank you for this beautiful opportunity to be alive. In Jesus name, Amen.
Cheers to living, loving and growing..
God bless you.
