Her faith in God has helped her get through some very difficult times. “I have a very rich spiritual life. I’m not a religious fanatic in any way. I’m more spiritual but a lot of times when things get crazy during the day, I just kind of stop and just kind of draw in God’s energy or that good higher wisdom, whatever you want to call it.

Everybody calls it something different,” Dolly explained. “I just stop sometimes and just be grateful and just say, ‘Just stop.’ Just like that Scripture. ‘Be still and know that I’m God.’ I always love that. Just stop, be quiet, and shut your mouth,” she added.

“Just open your heart, shut your mouth, and just let God kind of restore me like that.” And just in case you’re interested, Dolly Parton’s favorite song, Sometimes When We Touch, was a hit for Canadian Dan Hill. The song reached No. 1 in Canada and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
