Resolve Matters as Quickly as Possible

If you just sit on it, it is likely to compound.  It is very essential that you be always attentive and responsive to what the Lord is saying.

Procrastination is generally viewed as delaying or postponing tasks or actions. While it’s a common behavior, it can lead to stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, and other negative outcomes. 

You can choose the easy way by just sitting it out there, doing nothing, or staying lazy and idle, just waiting for a blessing to drop. God may bring you such blessing but how much will you value it? In most cases, things are more valued if you work hard for it. This is true because one way or the another, you have exerted so much effort and suffered to get things done. 

Seek for the Lord's guidance and strength in overcoming procrastination by removing distractions so that you can stay focused and productive. When you do procrastinate, forgive yourself and not be too hard on yourself. Understanding why you procrastinate can help you develop strategies to manage it. 

Set small goals, breaking down large tasks into smaller, manageable parts. Organize your tasks so that you have a clear plan, making tasks seem less overwhelming. Focus your attention, concentrating on one task at a time. Be disciplined to make time for time management, prioritizing your tasks and allocating time effectively. Keep your goals realistic, setting achievable goals and reassessing them as needed. Change your mindset.  View tasks as opportunities rather than burdens. Each time you make progress, reward yourself to maintain motivation. 

Work hard for the sake of your mission regardless of the pains and sacrifices that you must face. Stand up for the truth at every opportunity and never back down. Fight for your beliefs amidst a world focused on pleasure and self rather than communal rights and responsibilities.

Tough works require patience and endurance. Working hard requires a lot of pain and suffering but its end result is always glorious, beneficial, and highly profitable. The Lord your God teaches you what is for your good and leads you on the way you should go. Obey His commandments and your prosperity will be like a river that is overflowing.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
