  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Now for the last break of the day.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's good Tuesday today.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: What it was good?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, keep our coworkers in your prayers, Shirley and Junior,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: just remember that also in my clothing. Let me say this,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and this is something that I'm currently dealing with and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people. As matter of fact,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know nobody who's not dealing with it. You know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: you know when you've been praying about something and you've
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: prayed about it for a long time, and it's something
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you've wanted and hoped for and it's been a long time,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and sometimes you get to the point where you just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: you want to go, Hey, God, are you listening? I said,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: this is what I want, This is what I need.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The part that you have to understand, especially if you've
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: been in contact with him on a regular and even
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: if you just started back with him or are you are?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Are you starting up with him? Now? God knows what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: we need before we ask.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But the part that we got to get to is
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to trust in the timing that He has. Now, this
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: is a tough thing to do, y'all, because God's timing
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: has never ever been my timing.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Ever, I don't. Don't.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I look back on all of the things I've asked
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: for and I found out that the answer was no.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And I think about, man, how disappointed I was. Let
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: me tell you something I was. I was about twenty seven,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: hadn't gotten into comedy yet. I interviewed with an insurance company.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And I won't say the name of the insurance company,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: but my boy had got me the interview. The man
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I interviewed it with his name was either Roy Foster
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: or Ray Foster. And I'd been through about four or
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: five interviews and this was my final interview, and man,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I was so excited. This was around in eighty four,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: eighty five, somewhere like that, and I was so excited. Man,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I knew I was gonna get this job. And I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: went to the interview and the man told me, you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: this is a final interview, and I just have one concern.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at your record and it looks like you've
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: moved four times over the last six years, and for that,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that just doesn't symbolize stability. He said, you want to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: explain thathing. I just told her.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I said, Man, I had a couple of things happened.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He had to move. My lease went up. I moved again.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I had the twins and I had to move to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: get a bigger place. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yo.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: All that says to me is instability. Well, sorry, we
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: won't be hind you at that time. And so I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: got in my seventy two Chevy and I drove out
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the parking lot and I was heartbroken because man, I
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: wanted that job so bad. And I swung around on
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the freeway and I was driving past the big sign
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of the insurance company as I had made that U
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: turn and loop, and tears was just rolling down my face.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I felt so disappointed at that moment. Man, God, you
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: know I need this job. I'm trying to take care
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of these kids. And he said no.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Do you know what.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Had I gotten that job at guess what, I probably
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have got into comedy because that would have been
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the career path I thought that I really wanted. And
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: God said, no, I'm not gonna do that. So the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: answer is no. And as I look back over my life,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I can think of so many times that the answer
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to my prayer has been no. And if it had
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a been yes, what I was praying for my outcome
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: would have been totally different. There's no way I would
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: be where I am today had the answer, had he
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: answer to prayer the way I wanted it to. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: as I sit here today, are you sitting here today
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and you've been asking for something over and over? And
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I said, like I've been asking for something over and over?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Could it be possible that the answer is no? And
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: usually when God tells me no is because he has
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a better plan. It has always worked that way. Man,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. Hey, you know what, suppose you had stayed
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: with that person that you had prayed for.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Suppose you had stayed with that person that you really.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Thought was this that or the other, and you stayed
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: with him, would you be where you were in today?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: No? Probably not.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Had you stayed there, had they not left you, had
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you been able to find who you have now?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Probably not.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: If you had stayed on that job that you had,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: would you be in a position that you're in now?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Probably not?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Or maybe it still ain't just works itself completely out yet, y'all.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: You gotta keep waking up and understanding that when God
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: wakes you up, it's a clear sign that he ain't
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: through with you yet.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So why don't you see what the process? He is quick.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Complaining all the time when it don't go your way.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Sometimes your way ain't really the best way. I've had
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to discover that, as smart as I think I am,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I've really made some dumb decisions.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I really have.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Man, I done walked myself into some crazy situations. So
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: now I'm really just learning to trust, trusting his steps
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: as he's ordering of mind, because I ask Him to
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: order my steps and trust in his timing, and ask
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: God to let your plans to prosper me, let them
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: come true.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: That's the best way to live. If you can do that, Man,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you release a lot.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Of pressure from yourself because you're trying to figure out
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: which way to go when God clearly has a path
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for you that's already designed. Why don't you talk to
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: God about that? Ask God what would he have for
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: you to do today? Ask God to order your steps today.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Ask God to give you peace of mind and direction,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and ask God for the strength to just stand the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: test and trust in his timing. God's timing is different,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: but it's usually way way better. Those are my closes
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: remarks today. Have a go in today, y'all, Hey, listen,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: talk to God today, he'd absolutely love.
• 6:40
