Hi prayer warriors ;

I have been dealing with inertia, sloth and a general lack of self control lately.This bothers me immensely as I don't seem to get round to important duties like cleaning the house, excercising, preparing decent meals, indepth bible studies and reaching my unsaved neighbours ie. doing what I am meant to do which is fulfill the great commission!!

I want to bite the bullet and up the ante in these last days but apart from inertia , I also suffer from generalized anxiety and a lack of emotional fulfillment.Please pray that the Lord helps me with all of the above that I might steward all my time, gifts, opportunities and time wisely and might occupy till He comes with all my might!

Thanks in advance.
Mooky.

I have said a prayer for God to help you get properly motivated and the strength, courage and wisdom to perform the work that your heavenly father has prepared for you beforehand. God is more than capable to complete the good work that He has started through you.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I will pray for you that you will be able to accomplish your goals and be consistent. Sometimes it is helpful to break up the tasks into smaller pieces so that you don't get overwhelmed by all the things you want to do in a day. God does want us to be good stewards of our time so I commend you for wanting to do just that. Thank you for the reminder for myself!
