- 0:09Speaker 2: One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.
- 0:12Speaker 1: I got something I want to share with you today.
- 0:14Speaker 1: I was I was in the gym this morning and
- 0:18Speaker 1: trained son send him a text, And he sent him
- 0:21Speaker 1: a text this morning of a dude in the gym
- 0:24Speaker 1: lifting up huge weights, dumb bails doing a bench press like,
- 0:30Speaker 1: you know, just huge dumb baills, you know stuff I
- 0:33Speaker 1: ain't doing, you know, hundreds some pounds, not really sure
- 0:36Speaker 1: was huge. I've never seen dumb balls this big. And
- 0:39Speaker 1: the man was pressing him and Lee's son took a
- 0:42Speaker 1: picture of him, and he sent this to his father
- 0:45Speaker 1: this morning.
- 0:45Speaker 2: His father shared it with me.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I want to share it with y'all because, man, I
- 0:48Speaker 1: can't tell you how it's explained so much of your life.
- 0:53Speaker 1: And when he showed the man lifting this excessive weight
- 0:55Speaker 1: in the gym, he said, wow, pop, look at this
- 0:57Speaker 1: dude right here. The caption he put under, don't pray
- 1:01Speaker 1: for it to be easier, pray for you to be stronger.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Ain't that cold?
- 1:06Speaker 2: See?
- 1:07Speaker 1: I was thinking about that as soon as he said it.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I said, man, I gotta go on the radio. I
- 1:11Speaker 1: gotta tell everybody what I see. Now, don't pray for
- 1:15Speaker 1: it to be easier, pray for you to be stronger. Okay,
- 1:20Speaker 1: let me tell you how important that is now. I
- 1:22Speaker 1: just heard it that way today, and I'm sharing it
- 1:24Speaker 1: with you immediately because you know what that has. It's
- 1:27Speaker 1: gonna help me a lot, because oftentimes I've done it
- 1:30Speaker 1: indirectly and then sometimes I've done it all the wrong.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I've sometimes I've actually prayed for it to be stronger,
- 1:37Speaker 1: but I've also prayed sometimes for it to be easier.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I have done that and been guilty of it myself.
- 1:43Speaker 1: But from now on, after hearing that, I'm changing my
- 1:46Speaker 1: prayer because, see, you can't have it both ways. You
- 1:49Speaker 1: can't be strong and weak at the same time. Now,
- 1:52Speaker 1: if you keep asking God to make it easier, what
- 1:55Speaker 1: you are not asking him for is for you to
- 1:57Speaker 1: be able to handle whatever happens. So thing that comes
- 2:00Speaker 1: along that you ain't worked your muscles on to prepare
- 2:03Speaker 1: you for, that's gonna sank you too. So what I
- 2:07Speaker 1: learned by that is sometimes I even I got to
- 2:11Speaker 1: change my prayer too. Now I do most of the time,
- 2:13Speaker 1: but I'm a human being and sometimes I just want
- 2:15Speaker 1: it to go away. But now, what I really need
- 2:18Speaker 1: to pray for is to strength all the time to
- 2:20Speaker 1: deal with whatever besects me, whatever.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Comes my way. Because to become.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Successful, and we've talked about this how many times, it's hard.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So since knowinge is gonna be hard, why not ask
- 2:33Speaker 1: for the strength to handle that. See, stop praying for
- 2:36Speaker 1: weaker moments, Stop praying for it to be easier. Stop
- 2:39Speaker 1: asking God to make your weight playing and easy.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Okay, now what now?
- 2:44Speaker 1: You ain't worked your muscles out to learn how to
- 2:45Speaker 1: handle nothing. I was at it this morning. I put
- 2:48Speaker 1: a little more weight on it. In order to grow,
- 2:50Speaker 1: I got to change. And you can't change if you're
- 2:53Speaker 1: gonna stay the same. You can't keep picking up the
- 2:57Speaker 1: same forty pound dumb bails. And you want some more results,
- 3:00Speaker 1: you gonna keep getting it. If you keep doing what
- 3:02Speaker 1: you've been doing, you gonna keep getting what you've been getting.
- 3:05Speaker 1: You cannot grow without the change. So when we talking
- 3:09Speaker 1: to God and we're asking God to make it easy
- 3:11Speaker 1: for us, where to growth at? Where to change at?
- 3:15Speaker 2: No?
- 3:15Speaker 1: You got to ask God to make you stronger, not
- 3:18Speaker 1: to make the situation weaker.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I'm changing my prayers.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Man, I'm going at him now with just just make
- 3:24Speaker 1: me strong enough to handle whatever happened, whatever come my way,
- 3:27Speaker 1: Give me the strift to handler. And now whatever I
- 3:30Speaker 1: see in front of me that I'm trying to go after,
- 3:32Speaker 1: that's gonna require more, Give me the strift to do
- 3:34Speaker 1: that too. Help me be a stronger man, Help me
- 3:38Speaker 1: be a stronger person. Help me be a stronger woman.
- 3:43Speaker 1: A stronger boy, a stronger girl, a stronger student, a
- 3:47Speaker 1: stronger boss, a stronger employee, a stronger leader, a stronger follower.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Give me that. Give me strift to do that.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Stop asking for it to be simple and easy and
- 3:58Speaker 1: paved the way what you want, man, The road to
- 4:00Speaker 1: success is always under construction. Always. It ain't ever paved
- 4:05Speaker 1: and smooth and easy. Look here, man, go out there todays,
- 4:08Speaker 1: try to be successful. See what you're gonna run into. Man,
- 4:10Speaker 1: it's orange barrels, it's workers, it's detools. It's got craters
- 4:14Speaker 1: in the road with no wanting signs on it. That's
- 4:17Speaker 1: how hard it is to be successful. The road to
- 4:19Speaker 1: success is always under construction. It ain't finish smooth out
- 4:24Speaker 1: for you. You got to ask God for strength. Be what
- 4:26Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. Now, listen, look at hill. When
- 4:29Speaker 1: you make a mistake and you're gonna make them, we
- 4:32Speaker 1: all do. We fall down, but we get up. A
- 4:38Speaker 1: saint is just a sinner who felled down, but he
- 4:41Speaker 1: didn't stay there.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That's all a saint is. All these Christians running their
- 4:46Speaker 2: mouth with.
- 4:46Speaker 1: You about how fired up and save they on all
- 4:50Speaker 1: this got all that, but them people, Them people make
- 4:53Speaker 1: mistakes all the time, all the time. And see the
- 4:57Speaker 1: moment we as Christian people start telling people the truth
- 5:01Speaker 1: about being a Christian, most people can get interested in it.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But if you gonna tell everybody this lie that you're
- 5:07Speaker 1: over here living this perfect life and everything and ever
- 5:10Speaker 1: since you came to God, your life been smooth and
- 5:12Speaker 1: you don't have.
