How do I deal with my sluggardness in my life so I can glorify God?

Thank you.

Hey, thank you for that question. How do you deal with your sluggardness? Well, one, I just appreciate you bringing this up. This is not often a sin that people will confess, but the fact of the matter is laziness, being a sluggard. This is something that is condemned in scripture. It keeps us from doing the things that God calls us to do. And so, I don't

understand or know all of the specifics with regard to your particular case, but I will say

that oftentimes there are lifelines that feed our particular

sin, whatever that sin is.

And we are called to cut those lifelines off, to sever those lifelines so that this sluggard

behavior doesn't continue.

But that might be related to diet, what you drink, exercise, some of those things I think

that can help contribute to a life of laziness.

But this is certainly something that God calls you to repent of.
