I Won't Be a Quitter

How many ways can I tell myself

"do not give up...."

Before I pray for help

Enough's enough!

As into new waters I was called to enter

I realized all that I am not

And determined to not be a quitter

To swim...I vowed to give it everything I've got

As into new waters, I accepted to enter
I pondered all that I am not... and sought a secluded spot
Determined through prayer to not be a quitter
I vowed to swim well and give it everything I've got

Treading new waters, I'm sustained, I enter

Humbled  in prayer...I give it more than I've got

To be found faithful and not be a quitter

I have started kneeling alone- quite a lot!

Elder Walker shared several stories demonstrating President Monson's devotion to his church callings, including his call at age 32 to be a mission president in Canada.

Quoting President Monson, Elder Walker said, "I hadn't been a missionary. I'd received no preparatory training for this important calling. I was young. I needed the help of the Lord. I went out behind the mission home and found a secluded spot in the trees where I could pray. I included in my prayer: I'll not be a quitter. I'll give it everything I've got."
