Faith Over everything

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." Hebrews 11:6

Procrastination, or the act of delaying tasks, serves as a telling indicator of our spiritual state, revealing to God that we may be struggling with a lack of faith. When we procrastinate, we are not merely postponing our responsibilities; we are, in essence, expressing doubt about God's provision and timing in our lives. It is essential to understand that we must approach our tasks with a heart full of faith, believing wholeheartedly that God's provision will prevail in our lives, guiding us through every challenge we face. Any underlying tendency to procrastinate often stems from deeper issues such as fear of failure or a lack of confidence in our abilities to accomplish the tasks at hand.

Let’s confront this reality: we all experience varying degrees of fear and doubt regarding certain aspects of our lives. These feelings are a natural part of the human experience. However, it is crucial that we take the time to discover the root causes of these fears and doubts and confront them with the help of God. By doing so, we allow ourselves to be transformed and made whole. Engaging in tasks with God by our side empowers us to turn what may seem impossible into achievable realities. With God, we transition from a state of spiritual starvation to one of abundance, moving from weakness to strength. The presence of God within us equips us to tackle any challenge that comes our way.

In fact, the word "cannot" should not even exist in our vocabulary, especially since we have the Holy Spirit residing in us, providing strength, wisdom, and guidance. Therefore, let us cultivate a mindset rooted in faith in all that we do! We must choose faith over fear, allowing our belief in God’s promises to overshadow our anxieties.

Father, we thank you for your unwavering faithfulness! We ask that you continue to deepen our faith and understanding of your will for our lives. Please remove any seeds of doubt or fear that may hinder our progress and our relationship with you. Remind us continually of our true identity in you, that we are beloved children, capable of great things through your strength. Grant us peace in every situation we encounter and before each task we undertake. Inspire us to trust you more and more with each passing day. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
