There are some things that simply must wait.
In other situations, there is a choice. In most cases, even Believers are compelled to find the most immediate solution for any situation that requires a fix.
The reason most people feel pressured by "so much to do" is not because there is a crippling burden of work, but because the work is not yet done. Until the work is done, there is a sense of craving the relief of the absence of the load. The flesh buckles and writhes under the lack or resolution or the stress of a compelling project that is not finished.
Those who pray about these things learn that there can be the finest silver thread of restraint of the Holy Spirit, or divine release from this kind of pressure.
This is not to say that Christians should be passive and refuse to dive in to the work. He is the balance.
In this life, no one will hit a vein of perfect balance in this area. This life is about being prepared for heaven, not getting everything right here. In the meantime, nothing escapes His notice.
Everything according to divine order.
