Laziness, often conceptualized as a lack of motivation or unwillingness to work or exert effort, is viewed differently across various contexts, including religious and secular perspectives.

Advice to everyone - skip this video. It's way too religious and impractical. I listened to this one and then to a podcast with Andrew Huberman. The podcast was extremely helpful, with detailed explanations on everything and real advices. After the podcast, I really feel like I completely wasted my time with this video.

Amen, brother. I havenโt thought about some of these things in regard to myself, I repent to the Lord, and ask for His grace to be faithful and diligent in His freedom and strength.

Thank you pastor for this wonderful message. This is exactly what I needed to hear today. I am from India and only recently started following you on YT. I listen to your message and podcasts atleast twice a day. I'm going through a challenging period in my life where I am without a job for almost 8 months. I feel God guiding me through you. I could relate very well to your explanation of laziness and guilty of the same. I have decided to make the changes to my life immediately as you suggested. I am sure God will work wonders.

I needed this since my car accident in 23 i broke my back and its been hard to work since then but i still struggle with laziness like not wanting to go to the store or go somewhere cause i don't want to. cause I had to be on bed rest for almost a year and i need Gods help to set me free and help me
@RaeBondarevichI tried to deny my laziness for a while. I do almost all these things and Iโve been trying to step out of and become more disciplined. I listened to this driving to work and told myself to stop making the same excuses for not getting things done, and just laying in bed all day. Youโll never see the harvest
@JazzyMae-4Thank you for this video needed to hear every word. Laziness has ruined my entire life
@BlessedAllDayEverydayThis really blessed me, I have been struggling with procastination with the work of God. I know there is more to my calling, but I gradually started feeling lazy to pray and read the bible as I use to do and it's really affecting me, because I then feel empty.
This teaching is just a wake up call for me. Thank you and God bless.
I'm struggling with self-motivation after a hardworking period of time, also struggling with sleep and creating a whole new routine for this new period in my life. I definitely will try to set new goals and develop a routine and new schedule thats healthy. Thank you for this video and tips! God bless you ๐

@ChukwuGreggReally thanks a lot for this. May the Lord bless you.
Flesh I am I just find myself being comforted with those seemingly-comforting-yet-justifying words about procrastination. I am really comforted and have been starting to agree that there's really something off me mentally or psychologically. But I've been being reminded that to address this, is to address it biblically. And I can't simply accept it. And that's the real problem.
His Words are real medicines. His Words are not just comforting but empowering.
The only way to renew my mind is through His words.
Thank you pastor Vlad for some great spiritual and practical ways to accomplish tasks. Developing a fear of God is a big one for me. I have ADHD and have difficulty with "task initiation," so getting started is difficult for me with household chores. With work, there's a consequence, so it's a little easier. Now that I'm older without the estrogen in younger years (menopause), I do not focus well, so your tips on eliminating distractions are great as well. Thank you!
@NATIVEatNCTHANK GOD...AMEN AMEN AMENโ๏ธ๐.
@gayasuresh9219Need more of this. Amen
@eilo94Very good topic and presentation. May God bless you abundantly โค๐โฅ๏ธ๐๐๐๐
