  Speaker 1: Come on, uh huh, I sure will.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice. Come on
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: dig me now one and on Steve Harvey got a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: radio show. Hell Man back in business too, Man Man,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: How good is God? I mean, really, if you think
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: about it in spite of all that's going down in
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: your life. First of all, it could be worse. But secondly,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: sometimes you have to remember. And I've just had to
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: have this conversation with myself this morning. That's how I'm
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: fresh on this one right here. When a challenge faces you,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: are you going through a difficult moment, or you didn't
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: hit a bump in the road in the middle of that,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: if you could manage to be grateful, it would take
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: you a long way. Gratitude is a powerful resource if
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you can be grateful in the middle of it. Gratitude
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: is a powerful resource when it's dim for you. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: then got a little bumpy on the road, and he
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: ran into some obstacles, and you done ran up into
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: some detailed signs, and your journey ain't smooth as it
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: was last week or last year. You gotta be grateful
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: for the things that are going right and that have
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: gone right.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And for the thing that's wrong right now to get right? Man?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Can I share that with you? Man? Is that a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: tough one to learn? It is for me. It has
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: been one of my toughest challenges is to learn how
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to be grateful because it's a powerful resource, but how
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to be grateful in moments of despair when it ain't
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: going right. See here's a mistake I would make. See
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: when something go wrong, I want to focus on the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: wrong so much in an attempt to fix it. But
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: even then, the focus ain't always in to fix it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: The focus becomes, Man, this is bad. Man, I can't
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: believe this is happening. Why just keep going down? That
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't fix anything, you know, mealing over it, going over
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: what's wrong, explaining it, sharing it with your friends, you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: making it sound worse than it is, tell the story
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: for pity from other people. All of that, right there,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the fix. Sometimes you're just
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: mulling over it. You're just making it worse. You're just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: making it a bigger problem. You're manifesting it into your atmosphere,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You're putting it out there in your spirit. Now all
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of a sudden it consumes your day. Next thing you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: know you're having a bad day. If you're having a
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: bad day, it's because you've been having some bad thoughts.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So what I've had to learn how to do, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what I'm working on this morning is I'm working on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the situation that Ben cropped up. I was going kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of smooth here for a minute and now then got
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: real bumpy in the road, you know, and all this here.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So what I'm thinking about now though, is even though
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I've hit a bumping the road, and even though I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: done ran into a detour, and even though I've hit
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: this lull, I'm going down into a valley, I ain't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: up on the peak. Can I not still be grateful
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: for all the things that God has given me, for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: all the things He's done for me, for all the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: things He's bought me through, And realizing that even this
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's happening to me again is going to pass to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: He gonna get me through that too. Come on, man,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: God is a good god man. It's a lot to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: be grateful for. So while I'm tripping on this bumping
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the road out and here, what I got to remember
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is all the things He's done for me. And like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I say, my saying is join depression cannot reside in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the same place. So instead of being down about this
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: new bumping the road, if I'm constantly filling my mind
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: with the thoughts of how good he's been to me,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of what all he's done for me, of all the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: things he's brought me through, of all the blessings he's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: presented me with. When I go down that list, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: really don't have a lot of time to mull over
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the situation. Now. Do I have to fix this bump
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in the row? Of course I do. Are There's some
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: things I'm going to have to do to straighten it out.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Of course it is. But Steve just going to get
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the business of doing it and straighten it out. What
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you mulling over and worrying about it for you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: old people. I heard old people say something when I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: was growing up in the church. They say, if you're
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: gonna pray about it, don't worry about it. But if
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you're gonna worry about it, don't pray about it. That's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: an amazing thing. And prayer just happens to be my
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: weapon of choice. Now, it ain't always been that way.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand that my first weapon of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: choice was you do it to me, I do it
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to you. You called me out, I call you out.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You say something bad about me, I've tried to find
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you say something bad about you. That was my weapon
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in the past. How did that work out for you, Steve?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Not so good? Because you know what, I spent a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: lo lot of time fighting back, kicking back, swinging back,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: when I could have spent all that time climbing. See,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: all you trying to do at the end of the day, folks,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: is have a better life than the one you got.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: All you trying to do is to improve your position
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: in life. You know, it's not my business to make
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: sure you don't get where you going. I ain't got
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: no time for that. It's not my job to assure
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that you ain't as high as me. I ain't got
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: no time for that. Your real mission and purpose is
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to have the best life that you can have, To
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: ascend to the highest plateau that you can get to,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to make your family as comfortable as you can, to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: provide as much as you can for your family. But legally, see,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: those of us are sitting up here trying to come
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: up with sideways. You can ask a couple million men
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: sitting in prison today how they wish they hadn't have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: done that, And they'll tell you, Oh, man, I wish
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I never had did it. I knew not to go
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: down there. Something told me not to go down there. Man.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: If I could change things, I would. But they sitting
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: somewhere doing some time that had they made another decision,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't have to do now. That don't make them
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: throw away people, nah, man, because everybody make mistakes, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: God is in the forgiving business. And some of us
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: have done some things that really broke the law, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a whole lot of other things and deserve to do
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: some time. But through the grace of God, we didn't.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But now we sit up here we pass judgment on
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: people who got to do some matter. I don't care.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you've done. God can forgive anything.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But our position, our motivation in life is to try
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to have the best life we can have and provide
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: for those around us and make it comfortable. If that's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: your ambition, you don't have time to worry about or
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: concern yourself with another person. And I wasted time doing that,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and that's not the way to get it done. It's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: simply mine to your business. Taking care of you and
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: getting yourself right and tight is twenty four to seven.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So that's a full time job. So what I had
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to learn was and what I've the reason I've chosen
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: prayers as my weapon of choice now is that now
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: prayer helps me that I don't have to fight back. Now,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: if I get cornered, I'm gonna fight you. I ain't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: even gonna lie to you. And I'm still working on
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: some things that trigger me. You know, you know, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and and so I'm I'm slowly getting better at that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But I've learned that my weapon of choice is prayer now.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: So when it happens ugly for me, I pray about it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: When it gets tight and dismal for me, I pray
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: about it. And the thing about prayer, man, is prayer
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: changes things. Yes it does. Now read about it and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: try it. That's the deal, Okay, come on, Prayer is
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a wonderful weapon. To the Steve Harvey Morning Show
