Having faith is making it through the day and being thankful. Faith doesn't set time limits on receiving a better outcome. The example I'll give is thought provoking, but not intended as an 'exact' comparison. Just know that it's the devil's snare when faith is not allowed to be enduring. The difference between POWs surviving in captivity during the Vietnam War was whether their faith was based on time limits (dates, holidays, and seasons) or if it was a day-by-day faith of getting through each day. The POWs that didn't survive their captivity were those, who mustered self-imposed dates and time limits for their release and freedom. "I'll be released by next Christmas", they would say. When these dates came and passed, it sucked a little of their life from them. They would repeat the same projections of when their captivity would come to an end again and again until they were spiritually broken and died of despair. Keep the faith. It's not over in a long shot. This is what I believe.
