Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you. Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody, you all listening to the voice, come
on dig me now.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I got something I want to share with you today.
I was I was in the gym this morning and
trained son send him a text, And he sent him
a text this morning of a dude in the gym
lifting up huge weights, dumb bails doing a bench press like,
you know, just huge dumb baills, you know, stuff I
(00:33):
ain't doing, you know, hundreds some pounds, not really sure
was huge. I've never seen dumb balls this big. And
the man was pressing him and Lee's son took a
picture of him, and he sent this to his father
this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
His father shared it with me.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I want to share it with y'all because, man, I
can't tell you how it's explained so much of your life.
And when he showed the man lifting this excessive weight
in the gym, he said, wow, pop, look at this
dude right here. The caption he put onto was, don't
pray for it to be easier, pray for you to
be stronger. Ain't that cold?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
See?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I was thinking about that as soon as he said it,
I said, Man, I gotta go on the radio. I
gotta tell everybody what I see. Now, don't pray for
it to be easier, pray for you.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
To be stronger.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Okay, let me tell you how important that is now.
I just heard it that way today, and I'm sharing
it with you immediately, because you know what that has.
It's gonna help me a lot, because oftentimes I've done
it indirectly, and then sometimes I've done it all the wrong.
I've sometimes I've actually prayed for it to be stronger,
but I've also prayed sometimes for it to be easier.
(01:41):
I have done that and been guilty of it myself.
But from now on, after hearing that, I'm changing my
prayer because see, you can't have it both ways. You
can't be strong and weak at the same time. Now,
if you keep asking God to make it easier, what
you are not asking him for is for you to
be able to handle whatever happens next thing that comes
along that you ain't worked your muscles on to prepare
(02:04):
you for. That's gonna sink you too. So what I
learned by that is sometimes I even I got to
change my prayer too. Now I do most of the time.
But I'm a human being and sometimes I just want
it to go away. But now, what I really need
to pray for is to strength all the time to
deal with whatever besets me, whatever comes my way. Because
(02:24):
to become successful, and we've talked about this how many times,
it's hard. So since knowing is gonna be hard, why
not ask for the strength to handle that. See, stop
praying for weaker moments, stop praying for it to be easier.
Stop asking God to make your way playing and easy. Okay,
now what now? You ain't worked your muscles out to
(02:45):
learn how to handle nothing. I was at it this morning.
I put a little more weight on it. In order
to grow, I got to change. And you can't change
if you're gonna stay the same. You can't keep picking
up the same forty pound dumb bails. And you want
some more results, you gonna keep getting it. If you
keep doing what you've been doing, you gonna keep getting
what you've been getting. You cannot grow without the change.
(03:08):
So when we talking to God and we're asking God
to make it easy for us.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Where to growth at? Where to change at? No?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You got to ask God to make you stronger, not
to make the situation weaker.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I'm changing my prayers.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Man, I'm going at him now with just just make
me strong enough to handle whatever happened, whatever come my way.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Give me the strift of handler.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And now whatever I see in front of me that
I'm trying to go after, that's gonna require more, Give
me the strift to do that too. Help me be
a stronger man, Help me be a stronger person. Help
me be a stronger woman. A stronger boy, a stronger girl,
a stronger student, a stronger boss, a stronger employee, a
(03:50):
stronger leader, a stronger follower.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Give me that. Give me strift to do that.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Stop asking for it to be simple and easy and
paved the way what you want, man, The road to
success is always under construction.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Always. It ain't ever.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Paved and smooth and easy. Look here, man, go out
there todays, try to be successful. See what you're gonna
run into. Man, it's orange barrels, it's workers, it's detours.
It's got craters in the road with no wanting signs
on it. That's how hard it is to be successful.
The road to success is always under construction. It ain't
finnsh smooth out for you. You got to ask God for strength.
(04:26):
Be what you're supposed to be. Now listen, look at
him when you make a mistake, and you're gonna make them.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We all do. We fall down, but we get up.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
A saint is just a sinner who felled down, but
he didn't stay there.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's all a saint is. All these Christians running their
mouth with.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You about how fired up and save they on all
this got all that, but them people, Them people make
mistakes all the time, all the time. And see the
moment we as Christian people start telling people the truth
about being a Christian, most people can get interested in it.
But if you're gonna tell everybody this lie that you're
(05:07):
over here living this perfect life and everything and ever
since you came to God, your life been smooth and
you don't have no and he then.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Took all your pains. Await, what what? Who are you?
Where that life at?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You're talking about Heaven now, ain't you? But I heard
you had to die to go there? So what you're
really talking about? Come on, man, I'm talking to the
cat that's in some real pain right now, that's in
some real trouble right now. The dude is at the
crossroad right now, the dude that's been struggling and dealing
with it for a long time. I'm talking to the
cat that's out there, been trying to figure out what's wrong, man,
(05:41):
why I can't seem to get it right. That's who
I'm talking to. I'm saying, come over here and give
God a try. Come over here with your imperfect self,
with your imperfect ways, and watch him change some things
about you. Watch him give you the strength. See what
he did for me. Let me okay, see, best way
I can do is just tell you what happened to me.
See what it did for me was he just took
(06:02):
me and took how it was and made me better
with it. I'm still an aggressive man. I'm probably not
gonna ever stop being aggressive. But he took that aggression
and he starts shaping it. Now for the first twelve
minutes in the morning, be aggressive about me. Be aggressive
about the feelings you got towards me, Your father, your leader,
your God, your savior.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Be aggressive, man. Tell people how you made it, Steve aggressively.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Since you want to, Since you're aggressive and you've been aggressive,
I made you be aggressive with that. Now, since you
like that, tell it like it is, Steve, then tell
the truth of how it really is, how I.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do for you, what I done for you. Tell everybody
you know what I've.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Done for you in a plain, simple way so they
can feel you. See, he ain't changed me. He just
made me better with it. When you get loud, hey man,
every now and then get loud for me. You know
you want to tell some jokes, you real funny, tell
some funny, but let it be so more.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
People can hear it. See, that's what he did for me.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So for all you cats out there that's scared to
come on over here because you scared it's gonna change you,
turn you into some little punk. Now you got to
come over here and beat this little meek lamb lad
off the slaughter every Sunday. That ain't what it is
over here. God looking for men, God looking for for
real soldiers out here. See everybody I talk to you
don't want to hear about Christianity. So I ain't got
(07:22):

cool with that. See every Christian ain't turning another cheek.
I ain't there. You slap me, man, I ain't man.
