- 0:05Speaker 2: Everybody y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
- 0:09Speaker 2: one and only Steve Harsey got a radio show man.
- 0:13Speaker 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, you're just huge, dumb baills, you know stuff
- 0:33Speaker 2: I 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 has explained so much of
- 0:52Speaker 2: your life. And when he showed the man lifting this
- 0:55Speaker 2: excessive weight in the gym, he said, Wow, Pap, look
- 0:57Speaker 2: at this dude right here. The caption he put on
- 1:00Speaker 2: it was, don't pray for it to be easier, pray
- 1:04Speaker 2: for you to 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 to be stronger. Okay,
- 1:20Speaker 2: let me tell you how important that is now. I
- 1:22Speaker 2: just heard it that way today, and I'm sharing it
- 1:24Speaker 2: with you immediately because you know what that has. It's
- 1:27Speaker 2: gonna help me a lot, because oftentimes I've done it indirectly,
- 1:32Speaker 2: and then sometimes I've done it all the wrong. I've
- 1:34Speaker 2: sometimes I've actually prayed for it to be stronger, but
- 1:37Speaker 2: I've also prayed sometimes for it to be easier. I
- 1:41Speaker 2: have done that and been guilty of it myself. But
- 1:44Speaker 2: from now on, after hearing that, I'm changing my prayer
- 1:47Speaker 2: because see, you can't have it both ways. You can't
- 1:50Speaker 2: be strong and weak at the same time. Now, if
- 1:52Speaker 2: you keep asking God to make it easier, what you
- 1:56Speaker 2: are not asking him for is for you to be
- 1:58Speaker 2: able to handle whatever happens next thing that comes along
- 2:01Speaker 2: that you ain't worked your muscles on to prepare you for.
- 2:04Speaker 1: That's gonna sank you too.
- 2:06Speaker 2: So what I learned by that is sometimes I even
- 2:10Speaker 2: I got to change my prayer too. Now I do
- 2:13Speaker 2: most of the time, but I'm a human being and
- 2:15Speaker 2: sometimes I just want it to go away. But now,
- 2:17Speaker 2: what I really need to pray for is to strength
- 2:19Speaker 2: all the time to deal with whatever besets me, whatever
- 2:23Speaker 2: comes my way. Because to become successful, and we've talked
- 2:26Speaker 2: about this how many times, it's hard. So since knowing
- 2:30Speaker 2: is gonna be hard, why not ask for the strength
- 2:34Speaker 2: to handle that. See, stop praying for weaker moments, stop
- 2:37Speaker 2: praying for it to be easier. Stop asking God to
- 2:40Speaker 2: make your way playing and easy.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Okay, now what now?
- 2:44Speaker 2: You ain't worked your muscles out to learn how to
- 2:46Speaker 2: handle nothing. I was at it this morning. I put
- 2:48Speaker 2: a little more weight on it. In order to grow,
- 2:51Speaker 2: I got to change. And you can't change if you're
- 2:54Speaker 2: gonna stay the same. You can't keep picking up the
- 2:57Speaker 2: same for they pround dumb bails and you want some results,
- 3:00Speaker 2: you gonna keep getting it. If you keep doing what
- 3:02Speaker 2: you've been doing, you gonna keep getting what you've been getting.
- 3:06Speaker 1: 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, where to growth at?
- 3:14Speaker 1: Where to change at?
- 3:15Speaker 2: No, you got to ask God to make you stronger,
- 3:18Speaker 2: not to make the situation weaker.
- 3:20Speaker 1: I'm changing my prayers. Man, I'm going at him now.
- 3:23Speaker 2: With just just make me strong enough to handle whatever happened,
- 3:26Speaker 2: whatever come my way, Give me the strift to handle it.
- 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.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Road to success is always under construction. Always.
- 4:04Speaker 2: It ain't ever paved and smooth and easy. Look here, man,
- 4:07Speaker 2: go out there todays, try to be successful. See what
- 4:09Speaker 2: you're gonna run into. Man, it's orange barrels, it's workers,
- 4:12Speaker 2: it's detoours. It's got craters in the road with no
- 4:15Speaker 2: wanting signs on it. That's how hard it is to
- 4:18Speaker 2: be successful. The road to success is always under construction.
- 4:22Speaker 2: It ain't finish smooth out for you. You got to
- 4:25Speaker 2: ask God for strength. Be what you're supposed to be.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Now listen, look at him when you make a mistake,
- 4:30Speaker 2: 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. That's all a saint is. All
- 4:45Speaker 2: these Christians running their mouth with you about how fired
- 4:48Speaker 2: up and save they on all this got all that,
- 4:51Speaker 2: but them people, Them people make mistakes all the time,
- 4:56Speaker 2: all the time. And see the moment we as Christian
- 4:59Speaker 2: people God telling people the truth about being a Christian,
- 5:02Speaker 2: most people can get interested in it. But if you're
- 5:05Speaker 2: gonna tell everybody this lie that you're over here living
- 5:08Speaker 2: this perfect life and everything and ever since you came
- 5:11Speaker 2: to God, your life been smooth and you don't have
- 5:13Speaker 2: no and He then took all your pains away?
- 5:15Speaker 1: What what? Who are you? Where that life at?
- 5:20Speaker 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
- 5:33Speaker 2: crossroad right now. The dude has been struggling and dealing
- 5:36Speaker 2: with it for a long time. I'm talking to the
- 5:38Speaker 2: cat that's out there, been trying to figure out what's wrong, man,
- 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
- 6:16Speaker 2: minutes in the morning, be aggressive about me. Be aggressive
- 6:19Speaker 2: about the feelings you got towards me, Your father, your leader,
- 6:22Speaker 2: your God, your savior.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Be aggressive, man.
- 6:24Speaker 2: Tell people how you made it, Steve aggressively, since you
- 6:27Speaker 2: want to, Since you aggressive, and you've been aggressive, I
- 6:30Speaker 2: made you be aggressive with that. Now, since you like
- 6:34Speaker 2: to tell it like it is, Steve, Then tell the
- 6:36Speaker 2: truth of how it really is, how I do for you,
- 6:39Speaker 2: what I done for you.

- 6:42Speaker 2: Done for you in a plain, simple way so they
- 6:44Speaker 2: can feel you. See, he ain't changed me. He just
- 6:47Speaker 2: made me better with it. When you get loud, hey man,
- 6:51Speaker 2: every now and then get loud for me. You know
- 6:53Speaker 2: you want to tell some jokes, you real funny, tell
- 6:55Speaker 2: something funny, but let it be so more people can
