Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on. Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning everybody you'll listening to the voice, Come on,
dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a
radio show. Man, oh man, oh man, God being good
to me.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I can't explain it all really, Hey, you know, I
want I want to remind everybody of something that I
need reminding of myself all the time. And I'm I'm
I'm dealing with a couple of things now and I
had to remind myself. Uh, you know what I have
to remember. I have to constantly remind myself to stay
(00:38):
in constant communication with God. Constant communication with God.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Sometimes you know, I have a tendency and maybe we
do all the people. I don't know, but I know
for me that.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
When it's going okay, I slack up in sometimes having
conversations with Him because I'm not coming to him on
the day with something that's pressing or something, and I
find myself slacking up in the communication. The danger I
have learned in that is this, I think, you know.
(01:12):
I mean, we've all heard old people say, you know,
you got to stay prayed up, you know, and you
know prayed up means you know, you got some stowed up,
You just got an abundance of them where you're putting
it in. Because what happens is is when you're not
in constant communication with God, when you're not constantly praying,
(01:33):
doing those good times, that allows for the enemy to
slip in and do the little things that can be upsetting.
And then the next thing, you know what, you get
several little things in a row. Now you got an
issue you're dealing with. You know, I have to remind
myself when it's going like that, Man, Have I really
(01:54):
been praying though? Have I really been in constant communication
with God? Because you know that that helps God against
that little bitty stuff coming in. Sometimes it's big stuff,
sometimes it's major stuff. But I've noticed, man, that when
I get on a more of a smooth plane in life,
I have a tendency to slack up in that department.
(02:16):
And that ain't the time to slack up. I'm really
learning that I have to stay in constant communication with
God because it enables me to ward off those little
things coming up that can get in the way. And
so I just wanted to make you aware of that
as I'm learning it myself, that staying prayed up. Is
(02:38):
important that you try to stop prayers, you know, you
try to you know, have some prayers in the bank,
so to speak, and just constant communication with him, because
it'll just safeguard you against a lot of stuff back
doing you. You know, I just wanted to make sure
you understood that because on your journey, it's gonna be
many obstacles.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I've said this one.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Hundred times on the show. The road to success is
always under construction. I say that all the time, and
it's to let you understand that it's not going to
be easy, but we can make it more difficult than
it has to be, you know, when you go out
strike out on the journey. You know, let's say I
(03:21):
got in my car. Let's say I'm in New York
and I get in my car and I say I'm
going to LA. I know, if I drive west and
continue to drive west, eventually I should get to California,
or I may wind up in Portland or Seattle or
(03:41):
something like that. But if I drive west, I'm going
to eventually get to the West Coast. Now wouldn't it
be smarter though? If I mapped out the route which
saved me a bunch of driving. I don't need and
figuring that I don't have to calculate when you know
(04:05):
the way to go. You know, if you know you
want to cut cross on the twenty, or you want
to cut cross on the seventy, or you want to
cut cross on the Tin, you know you got to
devise a route. Now, if I want to go visit
some people I know, then I know I got to
(04:25):
I need to go down. You know, I might go
through Ohio, come down on the eighty, then get on
seventy one and take that all the way down to
the Tin and then ride across.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Or I might take it to the twenty.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Cut through Texas and then and then let it link
back up on the ten. I know a lot of
different ways, but guess what the best way is to
map it out. You can go anywhere, but if you
go with a map, it's more precise.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
You save yourself a lot of time.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
And that's what prayer has taught me that when I
will deentify continuously p that I stay in the in
the in the I stay in.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
A prepared mode.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I have more idea of where I'm going. I'm more
secure with my route. If you just take off driving
heading west. Yeah, you'll eventually get to the west coast
if you out east. But guess what though, had you
mapped it out, you can see when you veering off,
you may stop, come out and not be paying attention.
Next thing, you know, you're on a route and you
(05:26):
going another way. You're going north when you could easily
still be going west. You've got to constantly be aware
of that. And I'm just pointing that out to you
because I know that on your journey a lot of
times you get sidetracked.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
And part of the ways we get sidetracked is we.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Lose out on that very the very beneficial resource of prayer.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
We lose out with our connection with God gets strained.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
The thicker you can keep the cord connected to God
if you fin out your communication with God. And instead
of having a big cable, now you're dealing with a
little thread. You know, a cable is stronger than thread,
and so it just decreases your opportunity. And so you know,
(06:11):
I wanted to just make you aware of that, and
you know, to ever be encouraged and to say to
everybody out there and just keep your head up. It
is going to be dark days for you. There are
going to be situations where it's going to be daunting
and hard to face. But man o, man o, man
everybody has to face these challenges.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Everybody get dark sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You know, Look, if you didn't lose, if you didn't lose,
you wouldn't even appreciate winning, because if it all went
your weight all the time. Do you know how complacent
and content and how easy life would be if it
just went your way.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
All the time.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So when it kept going your way, you wouldn't even
appreciate it because guess what, it's been going this way
the whole time. So what life does is it has
its checks and balances. These hard times are coming, and
you need the hard times to appreciate the good times.
You need the clouds and you need the rain to
appreciate the sun and the flowers. It's just when it
(07:17):
comes to prayer, though, just stay prayed up, stay constant
with it, because the challenges of life are coming, whether
you prayed up or not, they're coming. Understand that you
could pray every day all day. When you get through
praying every day all day, something gonna happen to you
that's gonna be challenging. Now, I would rather have been
(07:40):
in communication with God on a regular than wait till
every time something pop off to have to go to
and reintroduce myself. Okay, it was over a little around
the board with it today, but that's how it came
to me, so that is I ain't mad at it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Y'all have a great day. We're gonna have a good
one the day. Let's go, Steve Harvey Morning Show
