So healing and praying and being anointed and all that stuff was nothing new to us, cause we survived because of our faith in God,\u201d Parton said in a roundtable for <em>Heartstrings<\/em> at her <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/finding-life-purpose\/dolly-partons-dreams\/\">DreamMore<\/a> resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>In her church, prayer often involved anointing people with oil. Still, Parton was confused when an older woman in their congregation <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/the-prophecy-that-foretold-denzel-washingtons-path\/\">delivered a special message<\/a> to her one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said I was anointed and [that] I was going to do great things,\u201d Parton recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Parton wasn\u2019t sure what the word anointed meant so she asked her mom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMama said\u2026that just means that God has his hand on you, that you may do something special,\u201d Parton said. \u201cBut that triggered a faith in me, because I believe that I was supposed to do something good\u2026I never let go of that because I always felt responsible to God that I was supposed to be doing something for God. And so I still feel like that. And I&#8217;m still doing it. Trying to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This spiritual calling has been a driving force in her life for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really feel like I have a calling,\u201d Parton said. \u201cI feel like God had told me early on in a feeling that I was supposed to go till He told me to stop and He [hasn\u2019t] said nothing yet about quitting. And so I ain\u2019t said nothing about retiring yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One way she maintains her energy is through a daily prayer ritual. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day I pray for God to lead me and to take out all the wrong things, wrong people in my life, bring all the right things, right people in, and to let me glorify Him and uplift mankind,\u201d Parton said. \u201cLet me be a light, and a vessel to be used\u2026I just really want to do what I can in this world to make things better, if I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parton recently recommitted herself to creating things specifically focused on bringing light and faith into the world\u2014something she thinks everyone can do.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a God light in all of us, there&#8217;s a God coal or whatever,\u201d Parton said. \u201cThere&#8217;s something bigger and better than us and we need to connect to that to make us better people. And the more you can draw from that, the better off you are, not just for yourself, but for all the things from people that you can touch by believing that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, Dolly Parton is busier than ever.
