Oh, that simplifies life. if you want something, need something, ask god.

If you want something, need something, ask god. and if there's something
00:05:57.647 --> 00:05:59.348
Need something, ask god. and if there's something he wants you to do,
00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:00.183
And if there's something he wants you to do, he'll show you.
00:06:00.249 --> 00:06:02.018
He wants you to do, he'll show you. and if he does show you

He'll show you. and if he does show you to do something, then do it.
00:06:02.952 --> 00:06:04.253
But if god doesn't show
00:06:04.687 --> 00:06:05.354
But if god doesn't show you to do something,
00:06:05.421 --> 00:06:06.155
But if god doesn't show you to do something, then just wait on him.

You to do something, then just wait on him. "wait?!"

Active spiritually. if you're waiting on god properly,

If you're waiting on god properly, it means "to expect something

On god properly, it means "to expect something wonderful to happen
00:06:31.848 --> 00:06:33.082
