Its very good to know that u try to offer your salah regularly. But this laziness is nothing but whisperings of satan, which tend us to delay. How can satan allow you to prostrate. When u jerk those thoughts and stand up for salah, then it itselves is a Jihad. Prepare yourselves for salah before Adh'aan or soon after Adh'aan. Answer to the call for the prayers {Adh'aan} and offer it. A sort of happiness that we gain during, is unexpressable. Do try it sister.
You must be knowing that Allah swt, loves that salah which is offered in time. And just recall yourselves, those hadith which explain us the punishments of those who delay or miss there salah. We then hasten ourselves to offer it.
Salah is a sort of communication between a believer and Allah. When we stand for offering salah, we stand folding our hands as a humble slave. We make dua - {Surah -Fataha} , and recite other chapters too.Don't u love to stand before your Lord and thank him for his bestowings ? Just go thru the above link of the thread. Also its previous pages . Its better, if your start up from first page itself , as it may be helpful to u alot - insha-Allah.
To get rid of laziness, we have a dua . Kindly go thru - Dua thread or daily dua { I donno the name of that thread exactly}. Its at Basics of Islam section. That dua is like this
Allahumma innee a'oozubika minal hammi wal huzni wal ijzi wal kasali wal bukhli wal jubni wa zal'id daini wa ghalabatir rijali.
Meaning of this dua , though not exact -- but we seek Allah swt's refuge from sorrow , troubles, laziness , helplessness, being miser, being coward .
Try to busy your heart with any of the Dhikrs, even during your other jobs. For, it keeps away from the whisperings of satan.
May Allah swt guide us. Ameen.
