Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we are back. This is our last break
of the day. Steve. We're ready for your closing remarks today,
I want to give you all something that came to me.
It came to me this morning. I was been in
really over the weekend. I was doing a lot of
prayerful meditating over the weekend, you know, just trying to

(00:23):
recenter myself. You know, sometimes I get a little off,
you know, I see myself sliding off course, I'm forgetting
to be grateful as I should. I start working on
some things that I want to happen so bad. I
keep pouring a lot of time into it. I keep,
you know, reviewing my plans and goals, and sometimes you know,

(00:44):
your second guest stuff, and sometimes you spend a lot
of time just scratching your head trying to figure out
your next move. I'm sure everybody can relate to that.
How you sit up in here, man, and some of
your best laid plans seem to be want to ride
and you just can't figure it out. I was sitting

(01:05):
up and somebody sent me this this morning, and then
it's entitled release, and as I read it, I just
want to share with you the thought that I was
having when I was reading this thing called release, and
it says, Heavenly Father, I release to you the burdens
that I have been carried, burdens that you never intended

(01:28):
for me to carry. You know what I read that?
It meant something to me because a lot of the
stuff that's on us that we can around, He don't
even intend for us to caring around. We just can
it around because we didn't took it upon ourselves to
worry about it. We didn't took it upon ourself that
this is now this albatross around our neck, when God

(01:51):
really didn't intend for that. You know, other people's problems
really ain't your problems. They can bring it to you,
but that don't mean as yours. So you end up
carrying around stuff that God never intended for you to carry,
you know, like you hear your grandmama used to say,
don't let other people put their trash in your trash can,

(02:13):
because you need all that room for your trash. But
now you can around somebody else's. Then it goes on
to say, I cast all my cares upon you, all
my worries, all my fears. You have told me to
not be anxious about anything, but rather to bring everything
to you in prayer with thankfulness. Man. I had forgotten

(02:38):
about that, and when I read that, it reminded me
that I shouldn't be anxious about these deals. I'm working
on my next move, what I need to get done.
Why am I tripping about that? I don't know how
it's gonna turn out anyway. I'm anxious about something that
I actually have no control over. So I just consent
to me, Steve, just turn this over to who got

(03:01):
all this in control, and let him have it, and
be grateful for what you have. And then it says, Father,
calm my relentless spirit, quiet my anxious heart, steal my
troubling thoughts, with the assurance that you are in control. Man.
Ain't that cool when you turn something over to God
and all of a sudden you have a calmness or

(03:22):
quiet and the stillness because you ain't got to wear
anybody no more. Then it says, I let go of
my grip upon the things that have been I've been
hanging on too. With open hands. I come to you.
I release to you and will all that I am
trying to manipulate. I release to you all that I'm

(03:44):
trying to manipulate. So if you let go of stuff,
if you let go of a lot of stuff that
you're hanging on to, y'all, you can go to God
with open hands. If you go to God with open hands,
he got something to feel now. But if you hanging
on and got a death grip on the whole bunch
of stuff that you can't do nothing about it, it it
is really meaningless. You ain't got room to receive what

(04:05):
He got for you. So I release to you all
that I am trying to manipulate. I release to you
your authority, all that I am trying to control. I
release to your timing all that I have been striving
to make happen. Everything I've been trying to make happen.

(04:25):
I'm gonna let you make it happen everything I've been
wanting to happen at a certain time. I'm gonna let
that happen in your time. You do it in your time,
when it's your will. For me. It's called release. Just
let it go, man, because you're tripping about stuff you
really can't control. That's an amazing thing. Then it says,
I thank you for your promise to sustain me, because

(04:47):
that's his promise to sustain, you preserve me and God
all that I have entrusted to your keeping. So now
when you turn it over to God and you let
him have it, and you release this grip on this
stuff that you have no control over, and you ask
for his calmness in your quiet and you release everything
to him, Guess what, Now you can just trust that

(05:11):
you didn't put it in the right hand. You got
it in the best hand. So he gonna protect that.
Now he watching over it instead of you watching over it. Now,
who would you rather hand watching over something? You are God,
protect my heart and mind with your peace, the peace
that passes all understanding. Father, May your will be done

(05:33):
in my life. That was powerful to me, man, And
I read that this morning and I said, Wow, I'm
gonna share that with everybody because that really helped me today. Man,
that it allowed me to let go of something, to
let gold stuff that I've been hanging on to trying

(05:53):
to make stuff happen. When there's so much stuff that's
out of my control. If you just let it go,
turn it over to God and be all right with it,
because he'd been having you. Why would he not have this?
But we grab ourselves and we want to be a
part of it so much that we end up getting
in the way. So I asked that this will be

(06:16):
done in my life, in your time, and in your way,
however he want to do it, and whenever he want
to do it, I'm cool with that. Stop being anxious
for everything, y'all, step back, turn it over to God
and let him do what he do. Bro, you feel me,
feel you? That was good? Yeah? Yeah, y'all. Have a
great weekend for all. Steve Every contests no purchase necessary,
