Laziness can prevent a person from beneficial worship, work, and responsibilities. The Sunnah includes specific supplications to overcome procrastination and gain spiritual energy.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ
Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wal-jubni wal-bukhl, wal-haram, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil-mahya wal-mamat.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, and from extreme old age. I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death.
