- 2:08Speaker 1: one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I've
- 2:12Speaker 1: been saying it like that since I got it too.
- 2:15Speaker 1: All right, got a good one for you today. Yesterday
- 2:18Speaker 1: the other day, I was talking to you about the
- 2:21Speaker 1: most effective weapon available to us as human beings, I
- 2:24Speaker 1: think is prayer. I think prayer helps us in so
- 2:27Speaker 1: many ways. But right now, what I want to do
- 2:31Speaker 1: is I want to show you how prayer pays off.
- 2:35Speaker 1: I want to show you what good it can do
- 2:37Speaker 1: for you. Even me, I use it every day, and
- 2:41Speaker 1: the days I don't use it, I feel it that that,
- 2:45Speaker 1: you know, the days that I go, you know, without
- 2:48Speaker 1: talking to him as much, I notice it. I feel it.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I feel a certain kind of way. You know, those
- 2:54Speaker 1: that doubts starts slipping in again, that uneasy feeling of
- 2:57Speaker 1: uncertainty slips in again, that wondering what I'm gonna do
- 3:01Speaker 1: start slipping in again. Happens to me, happens to everybody. Man,
- 3:05Speaker 1: I think, I really, really do you know, if people
- 3:07Speaker 1: would just keep it real with each other, stop being
- 3:11Speaker 1: this Christian this superman, because you ain't you ain't. There's
- 3:16Speaker 1: scripture that says that's none perfect, no not one. That's
- 3:22Speaker 1: everybody that cover all of us though it so sometimes
- 3:26Speaker 1: I think we're a little too hard on each other
- 3:29Speaker 1: with that too, seeing that's how we not perfect. We
- 3:32Speaker 1: immediately want to just just oh man, you just want
- 3:36Speaker 1: to kill when we find somebody do something wrong. Bell
- 3:38Speaker 1: if you go public, everything go public now called social media.
- 3:42Speaker 1: But anyway, I just want to talk to you about
- 3:45Speaker 1: how prayer pays off. It's called it all eye and money.
- 3:50Speaker 1: People got money, call it all eyes. So return on investment.
- 3:54Speaker 1: People always looking for a return on investment. You know, nobody,
- 3:57Speaker 1: nobody in business really gives you money without understanding the
- 4:01Speaker 1: return on investment. They don't even give money to charities
- 4:06Speaker 1: unless they think it can do something with the bottom line.
- 4:08Speaker 1: A lot of companies work like that. I found out
- 4:11Speaker 1: out myself. Sad, but it is true. So since everything
- 4:16Speaker 1: is expected to work on a return on investment, I
- 4:18Speaker 1: assume because we're human beings. So since we are human beings,
- 4:22Speaker 1: whether you're in business or not, you still in the
- 4:26Speaker 1: business of living. I think when you pray, you should
- 4:31Speaker 1: expect a return on your investment. You talk to him,
- 4:36Speaker 1: you spend time opening up to him, You bowed your
- 4:40Speaker 1: head to him, you humbled yourself, you got on your knees.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I mean, but really we talking God here. So really,
- 4:47Speaker 1: what you doing ain't really about nothing. Be honest with you.
- 4:50Speaker 1: A little bit that you do do on his behalf,
- 4:53Speaker 1: it just pays and compareson with what he does. But
- 4:56Speaker 1: let's just say you want to call yourself invested, well,
- 5:00Speaker 1: let me show you how it pays off. This because
- 5:02Speaker 1: see for me, this is for me now, prayer pays
- 5:06Speaker 1: off in different ways. That's what I had to learn. See,
- 5:09Speaker 1: I was praying, but I was asking him specifically for
- 5:12Speaker 1: what I wanted. I had the audacity, though, to turn
- 5:16Speaker 1: around and tell him how to do what I wanted.
- 5:19Speaker 1: That's amazing, man. I can't tell you how many blessings
- 5:22Speaker 1: I block come in my way by putting my faith
- 5:25Speaker 1: in what I said I wanted and how I wanted
- 5:28Speaker 1: him to do it. I want you to give me this.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I want that person to go away. I want this
- 5:35Speaker 1: person to accept everything you say. Then I want to
- 5:38Speaker 1: go over here and I want this deal to happen
- 5:41Speaker 1: like this, and I want that person to just step
- 5:43Speaker 1: aside and let me through. And then I want that
- 5:46Speaker 1: I was I had it mapped out. God must have
- 5:50Speaker 1: been chuckling really hard. He had been gonna, boy, I
- 5:53Speaker 1: made you to be funny. But boy, you funny now.
- 5:55Speaker 1: So you're gonna tell me how to do it. And
- 5:57Speaker 1: you've all heard this right here. If you want to
- 5:59Speaker 1: make God laugh telling me or playing, well, that's what
- 6:02Speaker 1: I did. And that's how we pray. A lot of
- 6:04Speaker 1: times we pray, and we pray. In the prayer, we're
- 6:08Speaker 1: telling him how to work it out. Well, here's the deal.
- 6:12Speaker 1: This is what I've learned. Prayer pays off in different ways.
- 6:16Speaker 1: There's a different return of my investment when I pray. See,
- 6:20Speaker 1: sometimes when I'm praying for something, a situation to dissolve
- 6:25Speaker 1: itself or go away, sometimes I get courage out of
- 6:29Speaker 1: the prayer Prayer provides me courage. That's just to go
- 6:35Speaker 1: on and look at it. I guess face it.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Then.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm praying about a situation, sometimes prayer gives
- 6:46Speaker 1: me hanging power. Sometimes, man, it just I look up
- 6:49Speaker 1: and I'm just handling it better. Sometimes prayer gives you
- 6:54Speaker 1: laugh at off power. Sometimes, man, you just got to
- 6:58Speaker 1: laugh at off whatever. Man, you trip it? Do you
- 7:05Speaker 1: know what that is? If you could do that? You know.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Sometimes it gives you a show of strength power. Sometimes
- 7:15Speaker 1: prayer allows you to have the appearance that you got
- 7:18Speaker 1: it all together. Nobody got to know the world winning
- 7:22Speaker 1: the tornado, the hurricane that's swirling in your life, you
- 7:26Speaker 1: standing over that like the eye the hurricane, you just
- 7:28Speaker 1: and it's all swirling around you. But you standing there
- 7:31Speaker 1: like the eye, you just as calm. That's what prayer does.
- 7:35Speaker 1: So when you pray, man, it builds up a lot
- 7:38Speaker 1: of things in you. You know what it's done for me.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Prayer has built up character in me. It's made me
- 7:44Speaker 1: have more character because I'm able to stand stronger on
- 7:48Speaker 1: the things I say because I've been praying, because I've
- 7:52Speaker 1: been asking God for all of those return of investments.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I've been asking God for courage. I've been asking God
- 7:59Speaker 1: for hanging that. I've been asking him to give me
- 8:01Speaker 1: the power to walk away. I've asked him to give
- 8:04Speaker 1: me ignored power. I've asked him to help me laugh
- 8:07Speaker 1: it off. I've asked him to show me strip. But
- 8:09Speaker 1: you know what I was doing, I was really praying,
- 8:11Speaker 1: not really for them things be real with you. I
- 8:14Speaker 1: was asking him to help me, Lord, help me. You
- 8:17Speaker 1: ever done that? You have asked God for help, and
- 8:19Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the list of these things
- 8:21Speaker 1: show up. See, sometimes how you want the problem to
- 8:24Speaker 1: be solved ain't the best way. There's a lesson to
- 8:27Speaker 1: be learned when we make mistakes. And sometimes you got
- 8:30Speaker 1: to stay in that fire and you got to learn
- 8:32Speaker 1: that lesson. But guess what, though, when you come out
- 8:35Speaker 1: of it, you're gonna be better for it. You gonna
- 8:38Speaker 1: know more about it. Come on, y'all, pray. He's solid.
- 8:42Speaker 1: His word is true, It lasts forever. He do what
- 8:44Speaker 1: he said he gonna do now, all day, all night,
- 8:49Speaker 1: twenty four seven. He do it all day, all night,
- 8:52Speaker 1: and then some more. His word don't ever change. It's true.
- 8:55Speaker 1: It works for me, It worked for you. It worked
- 8:58Speaker 1: for Jake's. It works for Old Steam. It worked for

- 9:19Speaker 1: put prayer in your game? Watch what happened to you?
- 9:22Speaker 1: You sitting in that jail cell and you struggling with it,
- 9:25Speaker 1: and they telling you blood in, blood out, you can't
- 9:28Speaker 1: get in you. That's foolishness, man, What you mean God
- 9:31Speaker 1: can get you out of anything. Look, man, if you
- 9:34Speaker 1: done read your Bible, he'dne got some people on some
- 9:36Speaker 1: sticky situations. I don't know what you're talking about. If
- 9:38Speaker 1: Daniel was in the lions den and Jonah was in
- 9:41Speaker 1: the belly of the whale, what you talking about? Where
- 9:43Speaker 1: you are? You just sitting in the cell with some
- 9:44Speaker 1: dudes around. You're talking about what they gonna do? Man,
