How can we find the trust and strength to continue waiting for the Lord when it seems like we have already been waiting for so long?

The story of Micah's prophecies shows us what happens when we try to understand the internal sense. How do we know we aren't just seeing what we want to see? What does it look like to earnestly draw doctrine from the Word?
