Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y all
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 (00:17):
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, you know.
Uh sometimes you know, I have a tendency and maybe we.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Do all the people.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I don't know, but I know for me that when
it's going okay, I slack up in sometimes having conversations
with Him because I'm not coming to him on a
daily with something that's pressing or something, and I find
myself slacking up in the communication.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
The danger I have learned in that is this, I think,
you know.

Speaker 2 (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 stored 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,

(01:32):
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

(01:53):
been praying though? Have I really been in constant communication
with God? Because you know that help 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.

(02:15):
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 well of that
as I'm learning it myself, that staying prayed up.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is important that you try to stop prayers, you.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
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. I've said this one hundred times on
the show. The road to success is always under construction.

(03:03):
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 got in my car. Let's
say I'm in New York and I get in my

(03:24):
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 something like that. But if
I drive west, I'm going to eventually get to the

(03:46):
West Coast.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Now wouldn't it be smarter though? If I mapped out
the route.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Which saved me a bunch of driving out need and
figuring that I don't have to calculate when you know
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.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Got to devise a route.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Now, if I want to go visit some people I know,
then I know I got to 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.
Or I might take it to the twenty, cut through
Texas and then and then let it link back up
on the ten. I know a lot of different ways,

(04:42):
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. You save yourself a lot of time.
And that's what prayer has taught me that when I
will dentify continuously, pray 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):
go on 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 (05:37):
And part of the ways we get sidetracked is we.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Lose out on that very the very beneficial resource of prayer.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
We lose out our connection with God gets strained.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
The thicker you can keep the cord connected to God
if you thin out your communication with God. And instead
of having a big thick case, 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 encouraging 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 oh 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 (06:53):
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.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
So what life does is it has its checks and balances.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
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 comes to prayer, though,
just stay prayed up, stay constant with it, because the

(07:24):
challenges of life are coming, whether you pray it 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 in communication with God on
a regular than wait till every time something pop off

(07:45):
to have to go to and reintroduce myself. Okay, 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 day. Let's go listen easy to see Eve Harvey
