Author John Toland who received the
Pulitzer Prize for his book, The Rising Sun, is another person who knows the
power of persistence. Even though he now has an imposing record of successes, he
had an even more impressive record of failures as a writer.
From the time
he started writing he wrote six novels and 25 plays—none of which were accepted
by publishers!
Undeterred, he kept diligently writing for 20-some years
before he tasted success. He went on to write such best-sellers as Adolph
Hitler, The Last 100 Days, Battle: The Story of the Bulge, and But Not in
Shame.
"If you wait for perfect conditions," advised King Solomon, "you
will never get anything done. Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which
will grow—perhaps it all will."
Dear God
please give me
the insight
to know
what part
you want me
to play
in the work
that you are doing
in the world today
the courage—with your help—to do it
and the persistence to never give up doing it—no
matter what.
Thank you for hearing and answering my
prayerz
