Seriously — this is what to do when you feel like quitting

"..they laughed us to scorn, and despised us,
and said, What is this thing that you do?"

It was graduation day.
At Sevier County High in East Tennessee.
47 kids graduated.
Each student was required to go up to the mic and say what they’re going to do next.
One said, "Well, I'm going off to college to study medicine."
Round of applause.
Another said, "I'm going to work in the family business with my dad."
Round of applause.
Then, this little girl got up, and said:
“I’m going to go to Nashville to become a country music star.”
Everybody started laughing.
And she said to herself, “I’m going to remember this laughter.”
Every time she felt like quitting.
Every time she got rejected, she'd remembered the laughter.
They’re not laughing anymore.
Because her name is Dolly Parton.
Today she is one of the most-honored female country performers of all time.
Her TV-movie, Coat of Many Colors, brought hope and inspiration to many.
A story loosely based on Parton's life and her #1 hit song of the same name,
the movie speaks of how obstacles can be overcome with perseverence,
prayer, faithfulness and love.
Why are we talking about this?
If they're laughing at you now, there's a good chance
you're on the right track.
Especially if you've been following our manner of prayer here.
Like Sister M.
Once upon a time, her life was full of struggles.
Worry. Anxiety. A whole lot of things.
Then she decided to do something about it.
Hear her:

I have been struggling, worried, anxious
about a lot o things in my life specially how I will
pay my tuition and buy my books every semester.
I even over heard two people saying
"she thinks she will continue this her school?
who will be paying for her?"
Since the beginning of this year, I have been praying
and trusting God. I prayed at midnight for seven days
and on Tuesday I received a check for 5,000 dollars
for my tuition and my text books.

Praise the LORD.
Are they mocking you too?
Saying you will not make it?
That's a lie of the devil.
Right here, you have a RECIPE for success...
... if only you'll borrow a leaf from the
Eagles' Blueprint:
- Midnight prayer
- Courage to ACT when the
Holy Spirit prompts you.
And if you need any help, join our programs
(or join a church that teaches how to pray).
please understand this --
The BIGGEST mountains you're facing are usually
just molehills when we join forces to bulldoze them down.
The LORD has given us the heavy equipment
(of prayer) to do it.
Congratulations to all the Prayer Eagles currently
firing away in the Academy.
If you're able to join us, all well and good.
If not, that's OK too.
If you know anyone who has been beaten black and blue
by the enemy, (and would like to be an overcomer)
please invite them to...
... join us here and HERE
