Procrastination can be frustrating because of failure to do what is right. Guilt related to feeling disappointed in oneself and in failing others can easily surface. Procrastination has the power to blunt your conscience so that guilt and shame lose their intensity but are then covered over by indifference.
Albert Speer, the Nazi war criminal, argued in a 1971 interview: “I did not hate them: I was indifferent to them. My crime was far worse because I was not an anti-Semite. … My conscience was …eaten away day by day …by a multiplicity of little crimes. …As the Nazi environment enveloped me, its evils grew invisible – because I was part of [the evils].”
Lack of strong countermeasures against evil results in becoming indifferent. Indifference verifies that compassion is not a part of your character and integrity. If this has happened to you, ask God to forgive you of indifference and replace it with a renewed love for Christ Jesus. Do not delay in making this request.

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength
from him and be empowered through your union with him] and in the power of his
[boundless] might.
