  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Do your thing, Big Daddy. Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You all listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: One and only, Steve Harvey. Got a radio show. Man,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I got something I want to share with you today.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I was in the gym this morning, and Train's son
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: sent him a text. And he sent him a text
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: this morning of a dude in the gym lifting up
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: huge weights, dumbbells, doing a bench press. Like, you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: just huge dumbbells, you know, stuff I ain't doing. You know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hundreds of pounds.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. It was huge.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I've never seen dumbbells this big. And the man was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: pressing them. And Lee's son took a picture of him.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And he sent this to his father this morning. His
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: father shared it with me. I want to share it
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: with y'all. Because, man, I can't tell you how it's
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: explained so much of your life. And when he showed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the man lifting this excessive weight in the gym, he said, wow, Pop,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: look at this dude right here. The caption he put
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: on it was, don't pray for it to be easier.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Pray for you to be stronger. Ain't that cold? See,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that as soon as he said it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I said, man, I got to go on the radio.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I got to tell everybody what I see now. Don't
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: pray for it to be easier. Pray for you to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be stronger. Okay, let me tell you how important that is. Now,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I just heard it that way today, and I'm sharing
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: it with you immediately because you know what that has?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's going to help me a lot. because oftentimes I've
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: done it indirectly. And then sometimes I've done it all
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the wrong. Sometimes I've actually prayed for it to be stronger,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: but I've also prayed sometimes for it to be easier.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I have done that and been guilty of it myself.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: But from now on, after hearing that I'm changing my prayer,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: because see, you can't have it both ways.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: You can't be strong and weak at the same time.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Now, if you keep asking God to make it easier,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: What you are not asking him for is for you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to be able to handle whatever happens. So the next
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: thing that come along that you ain't worked your muscles
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on to prepare you for, that's going to sink you too.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So what I learned by that is sometimes I got
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to change my prayer too. Now I do most of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the time, but I'm a human being and sometimes I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just want it to go away. But now what I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: really need to pray for is to strength all the time,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to deal with whatever besets me, whatever comes my way.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Because to become successful, and we've talked about this how
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: many times, it's hard. So since knowing it's going to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: be hard, why not ask for the strength to handle that? See,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: stop praying for weaker moments. Stop praying for it to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be easier. Stop asking God to make your way plain
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and easy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, now what?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Now you ain't worked your muscles out to learn how
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to handle nothing. I was at it this morning. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: put a little more weight on it. In order to grow,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I got to change. And you can't change if you're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: going to stay the same. You can't keep picking up
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the same 40-pound dumbbells and you want some more results.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You're going to keep getting it. If you keep doing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: what you've been doing, you're going to keep getting what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you've been getting. You cannot grow without the change. So
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: when we're talking to God and we're asking God to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: make it easy for.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Us, where the growth at? Where the change at?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: No, you got to ask God to make you stronger,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: not to make the situation weaker.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I'm changing my prayers, man.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going at him now with just just make me
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: strong enough to handle whatever happened, whatever come my way.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Give me the strength to handle it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And now whatever I see in front of me that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to go after, that's going to require more.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Give me the strength to do that to help me
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be a stronger man. Help me be a stronger person.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Help me be a stronger woman, a stronger boy, a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: stronger girl, a stronger student, a stronger boss, a stronger employee,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a stronger leader, a stronger follower. Give me that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Give me strength to do that. Stop asking for it
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to be simple and easy and paved the way. What
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you want, man? The road to success is always under construction.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Always.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It ain't ever paved and smooth and easy.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Look here, man.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Go out there today. Try to be successful. See what
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you're going to run into. Man, it's orange barrels. It's workers.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: It's detours.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It's got craters in the road with no warning signs
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: on it. That's how hard it is to be successful.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The road to success is always under construction. It ain't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: fitting to smooth out for you. You got to ask
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: God for strength. Be what you're supposed to be. Now,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: let's look at here. When you make a mistake and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to make them, we all do.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We fall down, but we get up.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: A saint is just a sinner who fell down, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he didn't stay there.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: That's all a saint is. All these Christians running their
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: mouth with.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You about how fired up and saved they are and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: all this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Got all that. But them people, Them people make mistakes
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: all the time. All the time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And see, the moment we as Christian people start telling
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: people the truth about being a Christian, more people can
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: get interested in it. But if you're going to tell
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: everybody this lie, that you're over here living this perfect
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: life and everything, and ever since you came to God,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: your life been smooth and you don't have no, and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he took all your pains away. What? What?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Who are you? Where that life at?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You're talking about heaven now, ain't you? But I heard
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you had to die to go there. So what you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: really talking about?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Come on, man.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to the cat that's in some real pain
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: right now. That's in some real trouble right now. The
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: dude is at the crossroad right now. The dude has
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: been struggling and dealing with it for a long time.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to the cat that's out there been trying
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to figure out what's wrong, man. Why I can't seem
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to get it right. That's who I'm talking to. I'm saying,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: come over here and give God a try. Come over
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: here with your imperfect self, with your imperfect ways and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: watch him change some things about you. Watch him give
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you the strength. See what he did for me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Okay. See, best way I can do is just tell
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you what happened to me.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: See what it did for me was he just took
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: me and took how I was and made me better
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: with it. I'm still an aggressive man. I'm probably not
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: going to ever stop being aggressive, but he took that aggression.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And he starts shaping it. Now, for the first 12
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: minutes in the morning, be aggressive about me. Be aggressive
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about the feelings you got towards me. Your father, your leader,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: your God, your savior.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Be aggressive, man. Tell people how you made it, Steve. Aggressively.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Since you're aggressive and you've been aggressive, I made you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Be aggressive with that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Now, since you like to tell it like it is, Steve,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: then tell the truth of how it really is, how
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I do for you, what I've done for you. Tell
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: everybody you know what I've done for you in a plain,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: simple way so they can feel you. See, he ain't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: changed me. He just made me better with it. When
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you get loud, hey, man, every now and then get
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: loud for me. You know, you want to tell some jokes,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you real funny? Tell something funny, but let it be
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: so more people can hear. See, that's what he did
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: for me. So for all you cats out there that's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: scared to come on over here, because you're scared it's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: going to change you, turn you into some little punk.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Now you got to come over here and be this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: little meek lamb laid off to slaughter every Sunday. That
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: ain't what it is over here. God looking for men.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: God looking for real soldiers out here. See, everybody I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: talk to don't want to hear about Christianity. So I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: ain't got nothing for them there. How about that?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. See, every Christian ain't turning the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: other cheek. I ain't there. You slap me, man. Hey, man,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I ain't there yet. But see, I'm a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: work in progress. He ain't through with me yet. I
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: might get to the point where I can turn my
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: other cheek.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I doubt it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I ain't looking for it. I ain't praying for that one.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know for real about you, man. I'll be
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: praying for more strength. So when you do slap me,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: when I come back around, I'll come back nice. You
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: slap me, you won't slap me twice. I can promise
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you that. Where am I going with this, Steve? Huh?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, y'all. Just remember what I told you. You're
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
