Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.

Two different kinds of reaching are being separated. One concerns what you cannot verify, the other what you cannot yet have; the first is a question about evidence, the second about time. Keeping them apart is useful, because people often treat a delay as though it were a disproof.

When you are discouraged, work out which of the two you are actually struggling with. If the thing is simply not here yet, the answer is endurance and a longer horizon. If you have genuinely stopped believing it is real, that is a different question and deserves to be asked directly rather than answered with more waiting.
