"I am a poor, weak creature; unstable as water, I cannot excel...My soul is become as parched ground, and an habitation of dragons... But yet, though this be my state and condition, let the hands that hang down be lifted up, and the feeble knees be strengthened. Behold, the Lord Christ, that has all fullness of grace in his heart [John 1:16], all fullness of power in his hand [Matt 28:18], he is able to slay all these enemies. There is sufficient provision in him for my relief and assistance. He can take my drooping, dying soul and make me more than a conqueror [Rom 8:37]. He can make the "dry, patched ground of my soul to become a pool, and my thirsty, barren heart as springs of water,"; yea, he can make this "habitation of dragons," this heart, so full of abominable lusts and fiery temptations, to be a place for "grass" and fruit to himself (Isa 35:7)."
