What To Do When You Want To QuitSample

Have you ever wanted to quit? I have said in the past that quitting is unacceptable. Quitting is a decision that you can’t allow yourself to make, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t times in our lives where we want to quit. If you have ever felt like you wanted to quit, then you’re in good company. If you take the two or three most successful people that you know in your life, they will have two things in common. 1\. They wanted to quit. 2\. They didn’t. We are all a byproduct of the many people who have poured into us. Teachers, leaders, parents, coaches, mentors, and the experiences associated with each. Take a moment today to thank the Lord for those who have poured into you. Thank the Lord that they didn’t quit. Sometimes, when things get tough or even when life seems pointless, we think about quitting. People quit marriages. People quit jobs. People quit pursuing their dreams.

Many people in scripture had to fight discouragement and the desire to give up. David wanted to quit. Moses wanted to quit. Abraham wanted to quit. Paul wanted to quit. Peter wanted to quit.

He was beaten and bruised, but He would not give up. Great men and women are just men and women who wouldn’t quit.
