I note with growing dismay the following: I'm a thinker, not a doer.
Please do not mistake my claim to a much used intellect as implying a claim to any sort of intellectual potency. Is it not often the case that the most underpowered engines exhibit the highest RPM's? ;-)>
But, to the point: I find that my natural disposition is to think a great deal about pretty much everything while taking precious little action on much of anything at all.
As is often the case, I am again in need of reminding rather than of teaching. This has been a major point of emphasis in what I believe God has been trying to instill in me for 6 months or more.
I was doing well with this. Working hard, trusting God for strength for the task at hand, etc. However, I've gotten a bit lazy again.
I can almost hear God saying "What are you doing (metaphorically and literally) sitting there? TAKE ACTION, Joe - ANY action! Well, not any action. You know - something Godly."
Bless me, but I might have to get out of my chair for this ...
“[Be Holy] Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.”- 1 Peter 1:13

Gracious Heavenly Father, please continue to grace me with strength of back to match weight of cross, and nudges out out of my natural, neutral state to go and carry it somewhere.
Much obliged.
