  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I sure will. Good morning, everybody. Y'all listen to the voice.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Come on, dig me now. One and only. Steve Harvey.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Got a radio show. Hell, man. Back in business, too, man. Man,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: how good is God?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, really, if you think about it, in spite
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of all that's going down in your life, first of all,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it could be worse. But secondly, sometimes you have to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: remember that And I've just had to have this conversation
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: with myself this morning. That's how I'm fresh on this
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: one right here. When a challenge faces you, are you
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: going through a difficult moment or you didn't hit a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: bump in the road? In the middle of that, if
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you can manage to be grateful, it will take you
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: a long way.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Gratitude is a powerful resource.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: If you can be grateful in the middle of it,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: gratitude is a powerful resource. When it's dim for you
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and it got a little bumpy on the road and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: you ran into some obstacles and you didn't ran up
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: into some detour signs and your journey ain't smooth as it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Was last week or last year.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You got to be grateful for the things that are
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: going right and that have gone right. And for the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: thing that's wrong right now to get right, man, can
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I share that with you? Man, is that a tough
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: one to learn? It is for me. It has been
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: one of my toughest challenges is to learn how to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: be grateful because it's a powerful resource, but how to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: be grateful in moments of despair when it ain't going right. See,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: here's a mistake I would make. See, when something go wrong,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I want to focus on the wrong so much in
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: an attempt to fix it. But even then, the focus
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: ain't always in to fix it. The focus becomes, man,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: this is bad. Man, I can't believe this is happening.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Why does it keep going down? That doesn't fix anything.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You know, milling over it, going over what's wrong, explaining it,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: sharing it with your friends. You know, making it sound
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: worse than it is. Tell the story for pity from
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: other people. All of that right there has nothing to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: do with the fix. Sometimes you're just mulling over it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You're just making it worse. You're just making it a
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: bigger problem. You're manifesting it into your atmosphere. You're putting
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: it out there in your spirit. Now all of a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: sudden it consumes your day. Next thing you know, you're
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: having a bad day. If you're having a bad day,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it's because you've been having some bad thoughts. So what
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I've had to learn how to do and what I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: working on this morning is I'm working on this situation
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that didn't cropped up. I was going kind of smooth
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: here for a minute. And now I didn't got real
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: bumpy in the road, you know, and all this here.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So what I'm thinking about now, though, is even though
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I've hit a bump in the road and even though
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I ran into a detour and even though I've hit
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: this lull, I'm going down into a valley.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I ain't up on a peak.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Can I not still be grateful for all the things
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that God has given me? for all the things he's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: done for me, for all the things he's brought me through,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and realizing that even this that's happening to me again
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: is going to pass too. He going to get me
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: through that too.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, man. God is a good God, man. It's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a lot to be grateful for.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So while I'm tripping on this bump in the road
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: out in here, what I got to remember is all
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the things he's done for me. And like I say,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: my saying is joy and depression cannot reside in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: same place. So instead of being down about this new
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: bump in the road, if I'm constantly filling my mind
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: with the thoughts of how good he's been to me,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of what all he's done for me, of all the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: things he's brought me through, of all the blessings he's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: presented me with, when I go down that list, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: really don't have a lot of time to mull over
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: The situation. Now, do I have to fix this bump
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: in the road? Of course I do. Are there some
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: things I'm going to have to do to straighten it out?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Of course it is. But Steve, just go on and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: get the business of doing it and straighten it out.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: What you mulling over and worrying about it for? You know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: old people, I heard old people say something when I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was growing up in the church. They say, if you're
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: going to pray about it, don't worry about it. But
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: if you're going to worry about it, don't pray about it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: That's an amazing thing. And prayer just happens to be
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: my weapon of choice. That ain't always been that way.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I want you to understand that. My first weapon of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: choice was you do it to me, I do it
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to you. You call me out, I call you out.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You say something bad about me, I've tried to find
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you to say something bad about you. That was my
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: weapon in the past. How did that work out for you, Steve?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Not so good.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Because you know what?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time fighting back kicking back,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: swinging back when I could have spent all that time climbing. See,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: all you're trying to do at the end of the day, folks,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: is have a better life than the one you got.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: All you're trying to do is improve your position in life.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not my business to make sure you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: don't get where you're going.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I ain't got no time for that. It's not my
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: job to.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Assure that you ain't as high as me. I ain't
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: got no time for that. Your real mission and purpose
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is to have the best life that you can have,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to ascend to the highest plateau that you can get to,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to make your family as comfortable as you can, to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: provide as much as you can for your family, but legally. See,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: those of us that are sitting up here trying to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: come up with sideways, you can ask a couple million
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: men sitting in prison today how they wish they hadn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: have done that. And they'll tell you, oh, man, I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: wish I never had did it. I knew not to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: go down there. Something told me not to go down there. Man,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: if I could change things, I would. But they sitting somewhere.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Doing some time that had they made another decision, they
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have to do that. I don't make them throw
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: away people now, man, because everybody make mistakes and God
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: is in the forgiving business. And some of us have
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: done some things that really broke the law and a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: whole lot of other things and deserve to do some time.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: But through the grace of God, we didn't. But now
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: we sit up here and we pass judgment on people
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: who got to do some. Man, I don't care. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: don't care what you've done. God can forgive anything. But
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: our position, our motivation in life is to try to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: have the best life we can have and provide for
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: those around us and make it comfortable. If that's your ambition,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you don't have time to worry about or concern yourself
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: with another person. And I wasted time doing that. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that's not the way to get it done. It's simply
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: mine to your business. Taking care of you and getting
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: yourself right and tight is 24 seven. So that's a
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: full time job. So what I had to learn was
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and what I've the reason I've chosen prayer as as
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: my weapon of choice now is that now prayer helps me.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that I don't have to fight back. Now, if I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: get cornered, I'm going to fight you. I ain't even
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: going to lie to you. And I'm still working on
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: some things that trigger me, you know, you know, you know, and, and,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and so I'm, I'm, I'm slowly getting better at that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: but I've learned that my weapon of choice is prayer now.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: So when it happens ugly for me, I pray about it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: When it gets tight and dismal for me, I pray
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: about it. And the thing about prayer, man, is prayer
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: changes things. Yes, it does now. Read about it and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: try it. That's the deal, okay?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Come on. Prayer is a wonderful weapon. You're listening to
