Prayer for Procrastinators

What are you giving your life to? Let me tell you something, given in the context of Grace and Love. If you decide you are going to live for worldly things, If you sow into the wind, you will reap the whirlwind. -Dr Ed Young... Houston's Second Baptist Church

God's word sets the standard by which we should live our lives. How am I shaping up in regard to God's word...? I'm lacking. Oh I spend time in prayer daily, I read a few selected daily scripture verses every day, but is that enough...? I don't think so...

Many times I feel like I'm sowing into the wind as Dr Ed Young says. I'm feeling weak spiritually today. I was going to get up early this morning and go to a men's group in Clear Lake at 6 AM, but I stayed up too late last night working on the tournament and watching a movie. When my alarm went off at 4:30 AM this morning I just shut it off, turned over and went back to sleep. My wife even encouraged me to go but I told her I'll wait until next week.

Procrastination. That's me. I've got several issues I'm procrastinating on right now. Why am I procrastinating to read the bible...? I don't know. I believe that I'm under a severe spiritual attack these days. So I'm taking extra time today in prayer and fasting. I have to get out of this spiritual state I'm in... Please Prayer Warriors, lift me up in prayer when you can today.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I need You Lord. Oh How I need You. Father God, I am sorry for my sins. I know you went to the cross for me, I know you forgive me, but I seem to have difficulty forgiving myself. Help me forgive myself, and get on with a life of worshiping and honoring You.

Help me defeat procrastination. Help me to be a true man of action. Help me make some sanity out of my insane schedule. Lord, I'm even having trouble praying today. So I'm asking others to pray for me that you will just hold me up, lift me up. I know you will. I know that everything will work out for good, but I'm just weak today. Give me strength. Give me courage. Give me willpower to over sin and procratination. I can't do it on my own, but in you I can do anything.

Lord, I just lean on you today. Father, I love you. Of Course, I tell you that every day, yet if you examine my life closely you won't see my light shining as brightly as it could and should. I worship you with my words but what I I need to really worship you with is my life. Help me really live a life of authentic worship. A life of love. That's my desire. And I believe that's your desire for my life.

Father, I just rest in you. Thank you for canceling my sin debt. You paid it long ago. Yet I've been holding myself in bondage with worldly living. Well today I finally lay that down. I lay that at your feet. Today I give up worldly living, unforgiveness, and procrastination. Today I'm taking the narrow path. Today my light will shine again. It was almost burned out but in you it's burning brighter now.

Jesus, I pray these things in your Holy Name, Amen.
