       There is also faith in that one believes God is with them no matter what, that God will provide what they need on a daily basis. It’s more of a faith in God’s provision. It is like when Jesus said to people, “Your faith has made you well.” The error comes in faith when one believes that simply because God can do something, that that means if one has faith, he certainly will. Just because one believes God will do this or that, it ultimately is up to God whether or not he will do it. We can ask God for something in the form of prayer, believing he will do it, and sometimes he will. James said, “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working” (ESV). Great power is found in prayer, and God does a lot, but it doesn’t mean that God will always do what we want him to do. If he did, he himself wouldn’t have free will. Not to mention that sometimes he cannot, because in answering the prayer, he might be violating another person’s free will.
