There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them.<\/p>\n

Did you ever get, where Bunyan pictures Christian as getting, right under the old dragon\u2019s foot? He is very heavy, and presses the very breath out of a fellow when he makes him his footstool. Poor Christian lay there with the dragon\u2019s foot on his breast, but he was just able to stretch out his hand and lay hold on his sword, which, by a good providence, lay within his reach. Then he gave Apollyon a deadly thrust, which made him spread his dragon wings and fly away. The poor crushed and broken pilgrim, as he gave the stab to his foe, cried, \u201cRejoice not over me, O mine enemy; though I fall, yet shall I rise again.\u201d Brother, do you the same. You that are near despair, let this be the strength that nerves your arm and steels your heart. \u201cJesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to Paul\u2019s gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n
