  Speaker 1: Come on, Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: y'all listening to the voice? Come on, dig me now,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: want it only? Steve Harvey got a radio show. Hell
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Man back in business too, Man Man, how good is God?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, if you think about it in spite
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of all that's going down in your life. First of all,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it could be worse. But secondly, sometimes you have to remember.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And I've just had to have this conversation with myself
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: this morning. That's how I'm fresh on this one right here.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: When a challenge faces you, are you going through a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: difficult moment, or you didn't hit a bump in the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: road in the middle of that, if you could manage
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to be grateful, it would take you a long way.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Gratitude is a powerful resource if you can be grateful
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in the middle of it. Gratitude is a powerful resource
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: when it's dim for you. And then got a little
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: bumpy on the road, and he ran into some obstacles,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and you done ran up into some detooled signs, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: your journey ain't smooth as it was last week or
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: last year. You gotta be grateful for the things that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: are going right and that have gone right, and for
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the thing that's wrong right now to get right? Man?
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Can I share that with you? Man? Is that a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: tough one to learn? It is for me It has
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: been one of my toughest challenges is to learn how
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to be grateful because it's a powerful resource, but how
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to be grateful in moments of despair when it ain't
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: going right. See here's a mistake I would make. See
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: when something go wrong, I want to focus on the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: wrong so much in an attempt to fix it. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: even then the focus ain't always in to fix it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: The focus comes. Man, this is bad. Man, I can't
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: believe this is happening. Why this keep going down? That
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't fix anything? You know, mealing over it, going over
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: what's wrong, explaining it, sharing it with your friends, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: making it sound worse than it is, tell the story
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: for pity from other people. All of that, right there,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the fix. Sometimes you're just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: mulling over it. You're just making it worse. You're just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: making it a bigger problem. You're manifesting it into your atmosphere,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You're putting it out there in your spirit. Now all
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of a sudden it consumes your day. Next thing you
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: know you're having a bad day. If you're having a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: bad day, it's because you've been having some bad thoughts.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So what I've had to learn how to do, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what I'm working on this morning is I'm working on
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the situation that Ben cropped up. I was going kind
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of smooth here for a minute and now then got
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: real bumpy in the road, you know, and all. So
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: what I'm thinking about now though, is even though I've
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: hit a bumping the road, and even though I done
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: ran into a detour, and even though I've hit this lull,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going down into a valley, I ain't up on
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the peak. Can I not still be grateful for all
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the things that God has given me, for all the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: things He's done for me, for all the things He's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: brought me through, And realizing that even this that's happening
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to me again is going to pass to He gonna
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: get me through that toude. Come on, man, God is
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a good god man. It's a lot to be grateful for.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So while I'm tripping on this bumping the road out
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in here, what I got to remember is all the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: things He's done for me. And like I say, my
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: saying is join depression cannot reside in the same place.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So instead of being down about this new bumping the road,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: if I'm constantly filling my mind with the thoughts of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: how good he's been to me, of what all he's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: done for me, of all the things he's brought me through,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of all the blessings he's presented me with. When I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: go down that list, I really don't have a lot
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of time to mull over the situation. Now. Do I
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: have to fix this bump in the roll? Of course
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I do. Are There's some things I'm going to have
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to do to straighten it out. Of course it is.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But Steve just going to get the business of doing
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it and straighten it out. What you mulling over and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: worrying about it for you know, old people. I heard
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: old people say something when I was growing up in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the church. They say, if you're gonna pray about it,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. But if you're gonna worry about it,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: don't pray about it. That's an amazing thing. And prayer
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just happens to be my weapon of choice now that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it ain't always been that way. I want you to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: understand that my first weapon of choice was you do
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it to me, I do it to you. You called
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: me out, I call you out. You say something bad
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: about me, I've tried to find you say something bad
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: about you. That was my weapon in the past. How
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: did that work out for you? Steve so good? Because
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know what, I spent a lot of time fighting back,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: kicking back, swinging back, when I could have spent all
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: that time climbing. See, all you trying to do at
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, folks, is have a better
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: life than the one you got. All you trying to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: do is to improve your position in life. You know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it's not my business to make sure you don't get
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: where you going. I ain't got no time for that.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It's not my job to assure that you ain't as
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: high as me. I ain't got no time for that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Your real mission and purpose is to have the best
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: life that you can have, to ascend to the highest
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: plateau that you can get to, to make your family
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: as comfortable as you can, to provide as much as
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you can for your family. But legally, see, those of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: us are sitting up here trying to come up with sideways.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You can ask a couple million men sitting in prison
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: today how they wish they hadn't have done that, And
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they'll tell you, Oh, man, I wish I never had
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: did it. I knew not to go down there. Something
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: told me not to go down there. Man. If I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: could change things, I would. But they sitting somewhere doing
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: some time that had they made another decision, they wouldn't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: have to do. Now. That don't make them throw away people, nah, man,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: because everybody make mistakes, and God is in the forgiving business.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And some of us have done some things that really
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: broke the law, and a whole lot of other things
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and deserve to do some time. But through the grace
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of God, we didn't. But now we sit up here
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and we pass judgment on people who got to do
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: some Now I don't care. I don't care what you've done.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: God can forgive anything. But our position, our motivation in
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: life is to try to have the best life we
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: can have and provide for those around us and make
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it comfortable. If that's your ambition, you don't have time
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to worry about or concern yourself with another person. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I wasted time doing that, and that's not the way
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to get it done. It's simply mine to you. Your
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: business taking care of you and getting yourself right and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: tight is twenty four seven. So that's a full time job.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So what I had to learn was and what I've
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the reason I've chosen prayer as my weapon of choice
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: now is that now prayer helps me that I don't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: have to fight back. Now, if I get cornered, I'm
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: gonna fight you. I ain't even gonna lie to you.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And now I'm still working on some things that trigger me.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, you know, and so I'm I'm
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: slowly getting better at that. But I've learned that my
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: weapon of choice is prayer now. So when it happens
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: ugly for me, I pray about it. When it gets
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: tight and dismal for me, I pray about it. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the thing about prayer, man, is prayer changes things. Yes,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it does. Now read about it and try it. That's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the deal. Okay, come on, prayer as a wonderful weapon.
