Micah 7:7

In contrast to the Israelites of his day, the prophet determined to watch expectantly and wait patiently for the Lord to act as He had promised (cf. 1 Samuel 4:13; Titus 2:13). He would bring salvation to His people ultimately (cf. Isaiah 59:20). This commitment gave Him confidence that the Lord would hear his prayers.

The reason Micah did not succumb to utter pessimism in view of the terrible conditions in his day is that he determined to trust God. The same faith is much needed in our dark day (cf. Philippians 2:15-16).
