I have been lazy, procrastinating, making a lot of excuses and feeling sorry for myself these past few days but dear Papa God, I ask in the name of Jesus Christ to please break the spirit of laziness over my life and set me free in Jesus’s name, Amen! Thank you Jesus for setting me free. This pray is also for someone that needs to be delivered from the spirit of laziness.🙌🏾🙏🏾

I'm very lazy and this is really affecting my studies. I'm so scared cause it's exam season, I sometimes doubt if I'll pass this semester. Please pray for me fellow brothers and sisters 😢

Just last night, I asked the Lord to reveal my character to me... to show me what displeases Him so I can work on that and NOW, the first thing that comes up when I open YT is this! I feel saddened that I have let laziness in my character ruin certain aspects of my life... but I also feel encouraged, the Lord answered me and this shows me that He is patient and merciful and wants to work with me to get through this. Lord, help me to overcome laziness and tardiness... Teach me to walk in your ways Lord... whatever the reason may be, depression and/or anxiety, let your power rest upon me and us all to pluck out the root of laziness and help us to enjoy our work, whatever our hands find to do, let it be honorable to you, God.

Holy Spirit, please help me to be disciplined!

Always go to bed tired from helping others. Worn out from serving. This changes everything for me. I started meeting other's needs and whether they are thankful or not or take advantage, God sees you. The reward is not here on earth. 🙏

[beaverdamcreek]

This really convicted me. I have allowed depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, lack of confidence, and fear to be my excuses for laziness. And for expecting another to provide my resources. Thank you for nailing that right on the head - that was definitely for me. Thank you for this word. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for this correction 🙏🙏🙏👏🙌

Literally been sleeping these weeks away and stopped praying idk why I’m so tired or sleepy but I hate this feeling it’s the absolute worst feeling ever! I just wanna be productive in a good way

[heatherb]

Thank you for this video, I refuse to be lazy from this minute forward and rebuke anxiety and procrastinating. This really helped me and sparked something in my soul. Thank you Jesus 🙏🏼

[Andypatino]

I struggled with laziness and I always hated that word placed on me. Thank you for reminding me of what I have to do.

[Tryumph.]

You know it’s gotten bad when you blame God for your laziness and it’s not his fault one bit but myself. Lord thank you for Vlad and this YouTube channel. I have a clearer path on what to do now and I pray that each person watching this video also takes this message to the heart and begins to take ACTION. In Jesus name I pray AMEN

[holly_kalonji]

This honestly couldn't have come at a better time! Thank you, Jesus! I love the undiluted, convicting, and blunt word of God! There is no sugar coating on this channel, and I absolutely love that!🙏🏽

[thisiknowwithjohnfield]

I am struggling with being lazy in my walk with Jesus. Pray for a refiring of my zeal. ❤

[tritzispoosa]

God calls a lazy servant WICKED. and will cast that servant into outer darkness. Sodom and Gomorrah was guilty of idleness . What a helpful video. Thank you so much Vlad

[VeaceslavBARBARII]

I was just scrolling through YouTube posts when I saw this 🤦‍♂️

I am unproductive because I always feel tired and have no energy. I have no energy because I don't practice physical exercises (it's my laziness).

Now I know 100% what I have to tackle. The battle starts today!

[KarenHorton-Coleman-pkgp]

Yes, I am battling laziness, I repent, I will listen to this message again and share it, I will implement what you said and see a turn around in every area of life for the glory of God.

[lyneee__]

Laziness is the most hard thing I'm struggling with it's not easy but will win this fight thank you for the message 🙌🏾

As somebody who has ADHD it’s not the task that’s the problem or being too lazy to do the work, it’s STARTING the task (and staying focused on the one task). Here are some tips that work for me. I make lists and include very short and easy tasks just to get moving and being able to tick a task off the list, which then motivates me to do more. If I’m too overwhelmed with tasks that I can’t even make the list I just make myself get up and do something small - brush my teeth (any time of day) or wash the 2 plates and 2 mugs in the sink. It really needs to be something small to focus on because your brain then gets ‘ready’ and starts thinking rationally what needs to be done and then it’s easy to just go and do it. I set time limits on social media. You can still go on it later but it stops you when scrolling. Some people also say that putting shoes on narrating the next step aloud can be helpful. You will get into a routine and it will become easier. The start is the hardest. Also, pray for help ☺️
