- 2:26Guys, I want to thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I know I said that
- 2:29at the top of the broadcast, but I want to thank you again.
- 2:32I also want to give you guys an update.
- 2:35The miracle man, we know him as Clinton Knapp, is home from the hospital.
- 2:39Yes, home as of Saturday. This man had another heart transplant and he is home.
- 2:46And we've been back and forth texting. He is so excited to be home,
- 2:51so closer, even more closer with the Lord that he said, angel,
- 2:55we got to record. So we're recording tonight.
- 2:58Don't forget, another new episode is going to be airing this Wednesday.
- 3:02And that is regarding everything that's happening in his life.
- 3:06You don't want to miss it. That's called Personal Testimonies airing this Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
- 3:12Tonight's recording of Clinton and Knapp and I will probably air Wednesday morning.
- 3:17We'll probably do a double whammy for you guys just to give you what's going on in his life.
- 3:22Well, let me ask you this. This morning I left work, I left for work and I left a note from my wife.
- 3:28The wife has been, you know, dealing with her job and she's stressing out a
- 3:34little bit, you know? We all do at work.
- 3:37And I thought about leaving her a little note so, you know, to encourage her.
- 3:41And I said to myself, I wonder how many spouses do that for each other.
- 3:46And I'm not comparing by no means.
- 3:48But one of the things that I think we're lacking in the spouse industry,
- 3:53girlfriend industry, boyfriend industry, is that we don't talk enough to each
- 3:57other about how our day has gone.
- 3:59And I, myself included, am guilty of that.
- 4:03I usually wait, you know, and sometimes I'll skip a day, but I think that it's
- 4:08something that needs to be addressed.
- 4:10How are all of us doing in the work environment? How are you feeling today?
- 4:15Are you stressed out? Are you struggling? Are you worrying about your job?
- 4:19What are you going through right now on your daily work?
- 4:24I know that a lot of us say that they listen to the show and,
- 4:27you know, listening to the way you guys respond about, oh, thank you for this
- 4:32episode. You know, I needed it today.
- 4:33I started to think, are they listening to this before work?
- 4:37Are they listening to it after work? Are they listening to it because they've
- 4:40had a struggle of their day? What is it?
- 4:44So I leave that question for you. Reach out to me. 391-2312.
- 4:49That's my phone. You can also reach out to me, instant messenger,
- 4:53throw a half faith, let it begin, Facebook account.
- 4:55Love to know what you need or what you wanna talk about.
- 4:58But here's the thing, we all struggle at times at work.
- 5:03We all have that moment where we wish we could win the lottery,
- 5:08tell our boss to go, well, you know what I mean.
- 5:11But we all wish that that could happen, right? We all do. Some of us love our
- 5:15job and they don't wanna leave it.
- 5:16And if they won the lottery, they probably would still be working.
- 5:20That's just how some people are, you know, have it. Let's be real.
- 5:24But in the work environment, it can be stressful.
- 5:28And we have to rein in on that stress. We have to think about our families.
- 5:35We have to think about all that we have to offer each other.
- 5:39You know, they say that stress is the hardest thing.
- 5:45There's no cure for stress. That's what I want to say. and all of the things that do matter.
- 5:54Whether it's in our life, whether you feel like it's at work,
- 5:59nothing matters more than your family.
- 6:03And of course, our stress levels. We don't want to see us struggle.
- 6:08We don't want to see us be stressful.
- 6:11There's a famous quote that says, do your best and let the rest go.
- 6:15You can't be perfect no matter how hard you try.
- 6:18So give yourself credit for making an effort and try to stop stressing about the outcome.
- 6:24And that is by Laurie Deschen. It's a great quote.
- 6:29I want to pray this morning for all of you out there that may be struggling
- 6:32at work, whether you're feeling as if you're alone, whether you're feeling as
- 6:37if you're not knowing what tomorrow will bring. I want to pray with you.
- 6:45Heavenly Father, many of us are reaching out to you deep down in our hearts
- 6:52because we are afraid to ask for help.
- 6:55Some of us believe in you, Lord, but they don't want to admit it.
- 6:58Some of us don't know who you are, but want to meet you.
- 7:02Some of us are curious, but not sure how to reach out.
- 7:06Some of us have spoken to you and feel as if your prayers have not been answered.
- 7:12So Lord, this morning, we ask you to watch over all of our Have Faith Let It
- 7:17Begin family members, all of those that don't even listen to this show.
- 7:20Those that are struggling with work, those that are struggling with mental illness,
- 7:25those that are struggling with depression, those that are struggling with financial situations,
- 7:32those that don't know what to do when it comes to questions, answers.
- 7:39Some of us just don't know what to do.
- 7:43Today, expect something good to happen.
- 7:48I'm hoping that each and every one of you will have something great happen to you.
- 7:52No matter what occurred yesterday, realize that the past no longer holds you captive.
- 8:00It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it.
- 8:05We pray that you have a better day today, a better tomorrow.
- 8:09We pray that tomorrow brings you hope, happiness, and joy.
- 8:15Don't forget that working hard for something that we don't care about is called stress.
- 8:21Working hard for something we love is called passion.
- 8:26So remember that today is the day that the Lord has made.
- 8:30Let us rejoice and be glad in it because God has made this special moment,
- 8:35this special day for you because he loves you.
- 8:39He believes in you. He trusts you.
- 8:42He is never going to leave your side.
- 8:44The Heavenly Father is with you right now in Jesus' name.
- 8:50And pray the words that Jesus taught us.
- 8:54Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
- 8:59Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
- 9:04Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
- 9:11Lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil.
- 9:16For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever.
- 9:21In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
- 9:25May God be with you. May he shine his light upon you and grant each and every
- 9:30single one of you peace on earth.
- 9:34To you, the soul reading this, I know you're tired. I know you're fed up.
- 9:41You're close to breaking down, but there's strength within you.
- 9:46Even when you feel weak, keep going because God loves you God has not forgotten
