To Overcome My Lack of Motivation
Almighty God,
When I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities, I sometimes feel like shutting down and ignoring them. Then, as those neglected responsibilities pile up, the burden feels even heavier. That’s when I really struggle to find the motivation to take care of the things I am supposed to be managing. I need your help, Lord.
Remind me that even when I feel anxious or stressed at such times, you are never overwhelmed, but always in control of all things at all times. When I don’t know where to start, your Word is always the best place possible! Then, reassured by your promises and calmed by your peace, make me ready to take the next step, whatever that may be. Free me from fixating on trying to determine what is the “right” or “most important” step, so that I take any step in the right direction. When that step then generates traction, grant me success with each step that follows. Let that momentum fuel my motivation to keep going, confident that you are still in control and will guide and bless my efforts.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
