- 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
- 0:20Speaker 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 under it, well,
- 1:00Speaker 2: don't pray for it to be easier, pray for you
- 1:04Speaker 2: 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.
- 1:26Speaker 1: It's gonna help me a lot, because oftentimes I've.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Done it indirectly, and then sometimes I've done it all
- 1:33Speaker 2: the wrong. I've sometimes I've actually prayed for it to
- 1:36Speaker 2: be stronger, but I've also prayed sometimes for it to
- 1:39Speaker 2: be easier. I have done that and been guilty of
- 1:42Speaker 2: it myself. But from now on, after hearing that, I'm
- 1:45Speaker 2: changing my prayer because see, you can't have it both ways.
- 1:49Speaker 2: You 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. So the next thing
- 2:00Speaker 2: that come along that you ain't worked your muscles on
- 2:03Speaker 2: to prepare you for, that's gonna sink you too. So
- 2:07Speaker 2: what I learned by that is sometimes I even I
- 2:10Speaker 2: got to change my prayer too. Now I do most
- 2:13Speaker 2: of the time. But I'm a human being and sometimes
- 2:15Speaker 2: I just want it to go away. But now, what
- 2:17Speaker 2: I really need to pray for is to strength all
- 2:19Speaker 2: the time to deal with whatever besets me, whatever comes
- 2:23Speaker 2: my way. Because to become successful, and we've talked about
- 2:26Speaker 2: this how many times, it's hard. So since knowing is
- 2:30Speaker 2: gonna be hard, why not ask for the strength to
- 2:34Speaker 2: handle that. See, stop praying for weaker moments, Stop praying
- 2:37Speaker 2: for it to be easier. Stop asking God to make
- 2:40Speaker 2: your weight playing and easy.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Okay, now what now?
- 2:43Speaker 2: You ain't worked your muscles out to learn how to
- 2:45Speaker 2: handle nothing. I was at it this morning. I put
- 2:48Speaker 2: a little more weight on it. In order to grow,
- 2:50Speaker 2: I got to change. And you can't change if you're
- 2:53Speaker 2: gonna stay the same. You can't keep picking up the
- 2:56Speaker 2: same forty pound dumb bills. And you want some moriss,
- 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.
- 3:05Speaker 1: You cannot grow without the change.
- 3:08Speaker 2: So when we talking to God and we're asking God
- 3:10Speaker 2: to make it easy for us.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Where it growth at? 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.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Give me the strift to 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.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Give me the strift to do that too.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Help me be a stronger man, Help me be a
- 3:39Speaker 2: stronger person. Help me be a stronger woman, a stronger boy,
- 3:44Speaker 2: a stronger girl, a stronger student, a stronger boss, a
- 3:48Speaker 2: stronger employee, a 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
- 3:57Speaker 2: paved the way what you want, Man, road to success
- 4:01Speaker 2: is always under construction. Always. It ain't ever paved and
- 4:05Speaker 2: smooth and easy. Look here, man, go out there to
- 4:07Speaker 2: days try to be successful. See what you're gonna run into. Man,
- 4:10Speaker 2: it's orange barrels, it's workers, it's detours. It's got craters
- 4:14Speaker 2: in the road with no wanting signs on it. That's
- 4:17Speaker 2: how hard it is to be successful. The road to
- 4:19Speaker 2: success is always under construction. It ain't finish smooth out
- 4:23Speaker 2: for you. You got to ask God for strength. Be
- 4:26Speaker 2: what you're supposed to be. Now, listen, look at him.
- 4:28Speaker 2: When you make a mistake, and you're gonna make them.
- 4:32Speaker 1: We all do. We fall down, but we get up.
- 4:37Speaker 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
- 4:44Speaker 2: these Christians running their mouth with you about how fired
- 4:48Speaker 2: up and saved 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 start telling telling people the truth about being a Christian,
- 5:02Speaker 2: most people can get interested in it. But if you
- 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
- 5:10Speaker 2: to God, your life been smooth and you don't have
- 5:13Speaker 2: no and He done took all your pains.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Await, what what? Who are you? Where that life at?
- 5:19Speaker 1: You're talking about Heaven now, ain't you? But I heard
- 5:22Speaker 1: you had to die to go there? So what you're
- 5:24Speaker 1: really talking about?
- 5:25Speaker 2: Come on, man, I'm talking to the cat that's in
- 5:28Speaker 2: some real pain right now, that's in some real trouble
- 5:31Speaker 2: right now. The dude is at the crossroad right now.
- 5:34Speaker 2: The dude has been struggling and dealing with it for
- 5:36Speaker 2: a long time. I'm talking to the cat that's out there,
- 5:38Speaker 2: been trying to figure out what's wrong, man, Why I
- 5:41Speaker 2: can't seem to get it right. That's who I'm talking to.
- 5:45Speaker 2: I'm saying, come over here and give God a try.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Come over here with your imperfect self, with your imperfect ways,
- 5:51Speaker 2: and watch him change some things about you. Watch him
- 5:54Speaker 2: give you the strength. See what he did for me.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Let me okay, see, best way I can do is
- 5:58Speaker 2: just tell you what happened to me. See what it
- 5:59Speaker 2: did for me was he just took me and took
- 6:03Speaker 2: how it was and made me better with it. I'm
- 6:08Speaker 2: still an aggressive man. I'm probably not gonna ever stop
- 6:11Speaker 2: being aggressive. But he took that aggression and he starts
- 6:13Speaker 2: shaping it. Now for the first twelve minutes in the morning,
- 6:16Speaker 2: be aggressive about me, Be aggressive about the feelings you
- 6:19Speaker 2: got towards me, your father, your leader, your God, your savior.
