- 0:08Speaker 2: on dig me now.
- 0:09Speaker 1: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.
- 0:12Speaker 2: I got something I want to share with you today.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I was I was in the gym this morning and
- 0:18Speaker 2: trained son send him a text, And he sent him
- 0:21Speaker 2: a text this morning of a dude in the gym
- 0:24Speaker 2: lifting up huge weights, dumb bails doing a bench press like,
- 0:30Speaker 2: you know, just huge dumb baills, you know, stuff I
- 0:33Speaker 2: ain't doing, you know, hundreds some pounds, not really sure
- 0:36Speaker 2: was huge. I've never seen dumb balls this big. And
- 0:39Speaker 2: the man was pressing him and Lee's son took a
- 0:42Speaker 2: picture of him, and he sent this to his father
- 0:45Speaker 2: this morning.
- 0:45Speaker 1: His father shared it with me.
- 0:46Speaker 2: I want to share it with y'all because, man, I
- 0:48Speaker 2: can't tell you how it's explained so much of your life.
- 0:53Speaker 2: And when he showed the man lifting this excessive weight
- 0:55Speaker 2: in the gym, he said, wow, pop, look at this
- 0:57Speaker 2: dude right here. The caption he put onto was, don't
- 1:01Speaker 2: pray for it to be easier, pray for you to
- 1:04Speaker 2: be stronger. Ain't that cold?
- 1:06Speaker 1: See?
- 1:07Speaker 2: I was thinking about that as soon as he said it,
- 1:09Speaker 2: I said, Man, I gotta go on the radio. I
- 1:11Speaker 2: gotta tell everybody what I see. Now, don't pray for
- 1:15Speaker 2: it to be easier, pray for you.
- 1:18Speaker 1: To be stronger.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Okay, let me tell you how important that is now.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I just heard it that way today, and I'm sharing
- 1:24Speaker 2: it with you immediately, because you know what that has.
- 1:27Speaker 2: It's gonna help me a lot, because oftentimes I've done
- 1:30Speaker 2: it indirectly, and then sometimes I've done it all the wrong.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I've sometimes I've actually prayed for it to be stronger,
- 1:37Speaker 2: but I've also prayed sometimes for it to be easier.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I have done that and been guilty of it myself.
- 1:44Speaker 2: But from now on, after hearing that, I'm changing my
- 1:46Speaker 2: prayer because see, you can't have it both ways. You
- 1:49Speaker 2: can't be strong and weak at the same time. Now,
- 1:52Speaker 2: if you keep asking God to make it easier, what
- 1:55Speaker 2: you are not asking him for is for you to
- 1:57Speaker 2: be able to handle whatever happens next thing that comes
- 2:00Speaker 2: along that you ain't worked your muscles on to prepare
- 2:04Speaker 2: you for. That's gonna sink you too. So what I
- 2:08Speaker 2: learned by that is sometimes I even I got to
- 2:11Speaker 2: change my prayer too. Now I do most of the time.
- 2:14Speaker 2: But I'm a human being and sometimes I just want
- 2:16Speaker 2: it to go away. But now, what I really need
- 2:18Speaker 2: to pray for is to strength all the time to
- 2:20Speaker 2: deal with whatever besets me, whatever comes my way. Because
- 2:24Speaker 2: to become successful, and we've talked about this how many times,
- 2:28Speaker 2: it's hard. So since knowing is gonna be hard, why
- 2:32Speaker 2: not ask for the strength to handle that. See, stop
- 2:35Speaker 2: praying for weaker moments, stop praying for it to be easier.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Stop asking God to make your way playing and easy. Okay,
- 2:43Speaker 2: now what now? You ain't worked your muscles out to
- 2:45Speaker 2: learn how to handle nothing. I was at it this morning.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I put a little more weight on it. In order
- 2:50Speaker 2: to grow, I got to change. And you can't change
- 2:53Speaker 2: if you're gonna stay the same. You can't keep picking
- 2:56Speaker 2: up the same forty pound dumb bails. And you want
- 2:59Speaker 2: some more results, you gonna keep getting it. If you
- 3:02Speaker 2: keep doing what you've been doing, you gonna keep getting
- 3:04Speaker 2: what you've been getting. You cannot grow without the change.
- 3:08Speaker 2: So when we talking to God and we're asking God
- 3:11Speaker 2: to make it easy for us.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Where to growth at? Where to change at? No?
- 3:15Speaker 2: You got to ask God to make you stronger, not
- 3:18Speaker 2: to make the situation weaker.
- 3:20Speaker 1: I'm changing my prayers.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Man, I'm going at him now with just just make
- 3:25Speaker 2: me strong enough to handle whatever happened, whatever come my way.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Give me the strift of handler.
- 3:29Speaker 2: And now whatever I see in front of me that
- 3:31Speaker 2: I'm trying to go after, that's gonna require more, Give
- 3:33Speaker 2: me the strift to do that too. Help me be
- 3:36Speaker 2: a stronger man, Help me be a stronger person. Help
- 3:41Speaker 2: me be a stronger woman. A stronger boy, a stronger girl,
- 3:46Speaker 2: a stronger student, a stronger boss, a stronger employee, a
- 3:50Speaker 2: stronger leader, a stronger follower.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Give me that. Give me strift to do that.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Stop asking for it to be simple and easy and
- 3:58Speaker 2: paved the way what you want, man, The road to
- 4:00Speaker 2: success is always under construction.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Always. It ain't ever.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Paved and smooth and easy. Look here, man, go out
- 4:07Speaker 2: there todays, try to be successful. See what you're gonna
- 4:10Speaker 2: run into. Man, it's orange barrels, it's workers, it's detours.
- 4:13Speaker 2: It's got craters in the road with no wanting signs
- 4:16Speaker 2: on it. That's how hard it is to be successful.
- 4:19Speaker 2: The road to success is always under construction. It ain't
- 4:23Speaker 2: finnsh smooth out for you. You got to ask God for strength.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Be what you're supposed to be. Now listen, look at
- 4:28Speaker 2: him when you make a mistake, and you're gonna make them.
- 4:32Speaker 1: We all do. We fall down, but we get up.
- 4:38Speaker 2: A saint is just a sinner who felled down, but
- 4:41Speaker 2: he didn't stay there.
- 4:43Speaker 1: That's all a saint is. All these Christians running their
- 4:46Speaker 1: mouth with.
- 4:46Speaker 2: You about how fired up and save they on all
- 4:50Speaker 2: this got all that, but them people, Them people make
- 4:53Speaker 2: mistakes all the time, all the time. And see the
- 4:57Speaker 2: moment we as Christian people start telling people the truth
- 5:01Speaker 2: about being a Christian, most people can get interested in it.
- 5:05Speaker 2: But if you're gonna tell everybody this lie that you're
- 5:07Speaker 2: over here living this perfect life and everything and ever
- 5:10Speaker 2: since you came to God, your life been smooth and
- 5:13Speaker 2: you don't have no and he then.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Took all your pains. Await, what what? Who are you?
- 5:18Speaker 1: Where that life at?
- 5:19Speaker 2: You're talking about Heaven now, ain't you? But I heard
- 5:22Speaker 2: you had to die to go there? So what you're
- 5:24Speaker 2: really talking about? Come on, man, I'm talking to the
- 5:27Speaker 2: cat that's in some real pain right now, that's in
- 5:30Speaker 2: some real trouble right now. The dude is at the
- 5:32Speaker 2: crossroad right now, the dude that's been struggling and dealing
- 5:35Speaker 2: with it for a long time. I'm talking to the

- 5:41Speaker 2: why I can't seem to get it right. That's who
- 5:44Speaker 2: I'm talking to. I'm saying, come over here and give
- 5:46Speaker 2: God a try. Come over here with your imperfect self,
- 5:49Speaker 2: with your imperfect ways, and watch him change some things
- 5:53Speaker 2: about you. Watch him give you the strength. See what
- 5:56Speaker 2: he did for me. Let me okay, see, best way
- 5:58Speaker 2: I can do is just tell you what happened to me.
- 5:59Speaker 2: See what it did for me was he just took
- 6:02Speaker 2: me and took how it was and made me better
- 6:06Speaker 2: with it. I'm still an aggressive man. I'm probably not
- 6:10Speaker 2: gonna ever stop being aggressive. But he took that aggression
- 6:13Speaker 2: and he starts shaping it. Now for the first twelve
- 6:15Speaker 2: minutes in the morning, be aggressive about me. Be aggressive
- 6:18Speaker 2: about the feelings you got towards me, Your father, your leader,

- 6:30Speaker 2: I made you be aggressive with that. Now, since you
- 6:34Speaker 2: like that, tell it like it is, Steve, then tell
- 6:36Speaker 2: the truth of how it really is, how I.
