Updated: Jul 17





30 Prayers against Procrastination.

Procrastination is when you delay or put off doing tasks or making decisions, which goes against the biblical call to be diligent and responsible stewards of our time and resources. While it might feel relieving in the moment, it can lead to several problems that hinder our walk with God and our effectiveness in His service.


Here are 7 negative effects of procrastination from a Christian perspective


1. Missed Opportunities for God’s Work: Delaying tasks can cause you to miss important opportunities to serve God and others.

2. Increased Stress: Putting off work often leads to a last-minute rush, which can increase stress and make it harder to experience God’s peace.

3. Poor Quality of Work: Rushing to finish tasks at the last minute can result in lower-quality work that doesn’t honor God.

4. Damaged Relationships: Consistently not fulfilling commitments can hurt your relationships with others, impacting your witness for Christ.

5. Guilt and Regret: Procrastinating can make you feel guilty and regretful for not managing your time as God would want.

6. Lower Self-Esteem: Constantly putting things off can make you feel inadequate and lower your confidence in God’s calling for your life.

7. Lost Spiritual Growth: Delaying decisions or actions can cause you to miss out on opportunities for spiritual growth and deepening your relationship with God.






Scriptures on Procrastination


  1. Proverbs 6:9-11 (ESV): "How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man."

  2. Proverbs 12:24 (ESV): "The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor."

  3. Proverbs 13:4 (ESV): "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."

  4. Proverbs 14:23 (ESV): "In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty."

  5. Ecclesiastes 11:4 (ESV): "He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap."

  6. James 4:17 (ESV): "So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."

  7. Colossians 3:23 (ESV): "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men."
