Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh huh, I sure will.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning everybody, you all listening to the voice, come
on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got
a radio show.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Man, oh man, oh man, God being good to me. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I can't explain it all really, Hey, you know, I
want I want to remind everybody or something that I
need reminding of myself all the time. And 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 in constant
(00:37):
communication with God. Constant communication with God, you know. Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
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 (00:49):
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 (01:04):
The danger I have learned in that is this, I think,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
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,
(01:31):
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
(01:51):
been praying though? Have I really been in constant communication
with God? Because you know, 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.
(02:13):
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 important,
(02:37):
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.
I've said this one hundred times on the show. The
(02:58):
road to successes 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 got in my car. Let's say I'm
(03:20):
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 something like that. But if I drive west,
(03:42):
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.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
When you know the way to go.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
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 I need to go down.
You know, I might go through Ohio, come down on
(04:27):
the eighty, then get on seventy one and take that
all the way down to the ten and then ride across.
So 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,
but guess what the best way is to map it out.
You can go anywhere, but if you go with a map,
(04:48):
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 I stay in a prepared mode. I have more
idea of where I'm going. I'm more secured my route.
If you just take off driving heading west, yeah, you'll
(05:11):
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 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
(05:32):
on your journey, a lot of times you get sidetracked.
And part of the ways we get sidetracked is we
lose out on that very the very beneficial resource of prayer.
We lose out our connection with God gets strained. The
thicker you can keep the cord connected to God. If
(05:53):
you thin out your communication with God, and instead of
having a big, thick cable, now you're dealing with a
little three. You know, a cable is stronger than thread,
and so it just decreases your opportunity. And so you know,
I wanted to just make you aware of that, and uh,
you know, to ever be encouraging to say to everybody
(06:15):
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, oh man, oh man, everybody
has to face these challenges.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Everybody get dark sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
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.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It just went your way all the time.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
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.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
The good times.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
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 challenges of life are coming, whether
you pray it up or not, they're coming. Understand that
(07:28):
you could pray every day all day. When you get
through praying every day all day, something's 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 to have to go
to and reintroduce myself. Okay, it was over a little
(07:49):
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 (07:54):
Y'all have a great day. We're gonna have a good
one the day. Let's go
Uh huh, I sure will.
