"i don't wanna start this day, god, without talking to you." and even if it can
00:01:23.740 --> 00:01:24.541
God, without talking to you." and even if it can only be five minutes,
00:01:24.607 --> 00:01:27.544

A big problem and then run to him expecting him to solve your problem.
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:44.994
Moses said, "if you're

00:01:46.196 --> 00:01:47.063
Moses said, "if you're pleased with me, teach me your ways."
00:01:47.130 --> 00:01:49.199
Pleased with me, teach me your ways." i love that he didn't ask
00:01:49.265 --> 00:01:50.300
For a new car or a new camel,
00:01:50.366 --> 00:01:53.036
For a new car or a new camel, whatever was
00:01:53.102 --> 00:01:53.703
For a new car or a new camel, whatever was the going rate then.
00:01:53.770 --> 00:01:54.837
Whatever was the going rate then. >> [audience laughing]
00:01:54.904 --> 00:01:56.005
The going rate then. >> [audience laughing] >> joyce: he said,
00:01:56.072 --> 00:01:56.639
>> [audience laughing] >> joyce: he said, "if you love me,

>> joyce: he said, "if you love me, teach me your ways."
00:01:58.007 --> 00:02:00.176
"if you love me, teach me your ways." i mean, what a--
00:02:00.243 --> 00:02:02.278
Teach me your ways." i mean, what a-- what a mature statement.
00:02:02.345 --> 00:02:05.448
I mean, what a-- what a mature statement. "if you love me, teach me how
00:02:05.515 --> 00:02:07.450
What a mature statement. "if you love me, teach me how to behave like you do."
00:02:07.517 --> 00:02:10.687
"if you love me, teach me how to behave like you do." i think, sometimes,
00:02:10.753 --> 00:02:11.421
To behave like you do." i think, sometimes, we just pray all wrong.
00:02:11.487 --> 00:02:13.022
We pray for all the wrong stuff.
00:02:13.389 --> 00:02:14.424
We pray for all the wrong stuff. the bible says, "seek first
00:02:14.490 --> 00:02:15.725
We pray for all the wrong stuff. the bible says, "seek first the kingdom and everything
00:02:15.792 --> 00:02:16.693
The bible says, "seek first the kingdom and everything else will be added."
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.195
The kingdom and everything else will be added." we don't have to seek
00:02:19.262 --> 00:02:19.963
Else will be added." we don't have to seek a bunch of stuff.
00:02:20.029 --> 00:02:21.030
We don't have to seek a bunch of stuff. i mean, there's nothing
00:02:21.097 --> 00:02:21.731
A bunch of stuff. i mean, there's nothing wrong with asking god
00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:22.632
I mean, there's nothing wrong with asking god for something you want,
00:02:22.699 --> 00:02:23.399
Wrong with asking god for something you want, but you don't have to camp
00:02:23.466 --> 00:02:24.267
For something you want, but you don't have to camp on top of it the rest
00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:25.168
But you don't have to camp on top of it the rest of your life.
00:02:25.235 --> 00:02:27.303
On top of it the rest of your life. get back to things
00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:28.204
Of your life. get back to things that are really gonna
00:02:28.271 --> 00:02:28.972

In the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."

Thing moses says. he says, "'if your presence doesn't go with us,
00:02:57.734 --> 00:02:58.635
He says, "'if your presence doesn't go with us, do not send us.'"
00:02:58.701 --> 00:03:01.271
Doesn't go with us, do not send us.'" >> [audience applauding]
