I think if a person really loves God, then God's love will keep that person busy . . . with prayer and the Bible, yes, and with doing good to love people, while sharing with Christian brothers and sisters.

There is a lot in the Bible about how to relate with one another, including "submitting to one another in the fear of God." (Ephesians 5:21) And "Do all things without complaining and disputing," (Philippians 2:14) And, if the person is reading the Bible, there is more that also should get him or her interested in sharing with and helping other Christians.

You might get the person into some activities where loving is involved, in Christian prayer and Bible group activities and serving the needy in a soup kitchen or nursing home or visiting . . . but with others who have been doing this and who are sound in love, good examples who can feed the person how to love > "nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." (1 Peter 5:3)

Move in with grandma and let her pay the rent so you can laugh and play all day long, or just not get out of bed all day if you don't want to.

Encourage that person to get their Vitamin D level checked as well as their thyroid - well just get a medical checkup because it could be something else.

If that's not the problem, then we'll go from there.

Sounds like oxygen deprivation. Breathing and knowing how to breathe is imperative to good health. Not smoking is too of course. If you live in a big city where smog is a factor this can also impair breathing because the toxins in the air suffocate the oxygen molecules in the lungs.

I love this guy: The Art and Science of Breathing - Dr.Andrew Weil. (A medical doctor who incorporates natural healing modalities for a holistic treatment system)

That combined with pharmaceutical grade SAMe, great for immune health and depression, which can be due to poor diet and bad breathing habits, and you could note you're a whole new person. Pharmaceutical grade supplements are the superior supplement.

Praying for better days for you.

Laziness can be a totally different meaning where relaxation + wealth = oasis of pleasure in leisure, such as playing golf all day, taking a ship cruise or flying overseas - in fact it's always on my mind what's it like to be a millionaire:.
But when we are born in a poor or middle class family, which most of world is if you imagine a triangle with three levels: the top being the high class where earnings are more than 50,000 a year, the middle row being the middle class between 20,000 and 50,000, then the bottom row which is the widest below 20,000 per year - money doesn't grow on trees so you we need to challenge our minds and bodies to the limit in whatever job we choose, especially where your health and safety rules are concerned because accidents can happen if you follow the time-squeezing deadline of a delivery or job assignment:.
Emailing to your boss about your positive and negative experiences and how you deal those negative experiences by creating your own intelligent quick-system ideas can create this "you are unfire-able" decision habit to your boss's subconscious mind:.
Try walking and delivering 2000 local newspapers in three days, that's nearly 700 a day or seven hours at 100 houses per hour by yourself as I have done for several years as a walker for leaflets and a home product magazine 2000 of them at the moment .;'*';.

Sounds like depression.
Is this person out of work?
Does this person have any goals or are they stagnant and drifting through life.
Is there stress in this person's life or a feeling of hopelessness?
Does this person have a low paying, hard work type of job?

Depression will often cause a person to become apathetic and listless
and they will try to fill the void with activities that take their mind
off of their troubles at the expense of many of the things they need to do
to move forward and improve their situation.

hi firstly, don't condemn yourself

also I think it is better to find out why you have this issue, in another word, what are behind them rather than getting frustrated with yourself and beat yourself up

lastly, like the other poster pointed out, it could be biological, if that is the case, what you may need is medical help.

 

[Kristen.NewCreation]

I think the question of is it that they want to be lazy, or is there something else going on. I agree that the issue of depression could be an issue. Or maybe there is something physical going on, like pain or stress or poor coping skills, or perhaps a number of other things.

Setting small goals that are attainable might be something to consider.
Talking with a physician or counselor to help identify the underlying issues could be beneficial.

We only have a limited number of hours of our life.
Imagine you had to account to God as if he was your employer what you did with your hours. I think self indulgence and laziness is really low on his desirable list of thing a christian should be doing but diligence is high and desirable. In your spare time read up the book of proverbs on this.

Take this time in your life to pursue the Lord.

Get with others who are looking for more of God in their
lives and have a Bible study/prayer meeting.

Get involved helping others at local soup kitchens or homeless shelters.

Pray and ask God for His direction in your life.

Pray and ask God to take away the fear , depression and doubts and to
cause you to grow during this time of being out of work.

Pray and ask God to give you another job that will meet your needs
and give you opportunities to share your faith with others.

Hope this helps..

I sounds silly but since you have time on your hands ? Walk. Even if you don't feel like it . Don't worry how you look .(just wear sunglasses and a sweat suit nobody cares)

Do it for 30 minutes twice a day .Don't sluggishly walk but you don't have to jog either just in between those two .You will get a little sunshine and keep the endorphin's coming in .Its no "cure " but can stave off falling into a pit .

And see a doctor .

good advice.

We do have a limited number of hours and we never know how many. Just because you are young doesn't mean you will live a long life. Life can change in a moment.
