Not if I don't do what it takes to solve the problem. Faith is an action verb. I must put it in action and take action to find and solve the problem.
The woman in the Bible who had an issue of blood didn't just set home thinking that there was nothing that could be done. She set out going in faith from physician to physician and then she heard of and sought out The Great Physician. She still had to take action once she found him. He didn't have his eyes on her, she had to reach out and touch. She touched the hem of his garment and he knew that the power that was needed for her healing was indeed transfered to her and according to her faith (action) she was healed.
There was a man at a pool that knew that if you were in the pool when the spirit moved the water you could be healed. He was a cripple and could not get himself in the pool. He was ask about this and he told the asker that he needed to be placed in the pool when the spirit moved it and he would be healed and so with help an action of faith he was placed in the pool and was healed. If the one who was ask didn't show faith(action) then the man wasn't any closer to being healed. There was a man on his sick bed whose friends cut a section of roof off the building in which Chirst was there speaking to the people. They lowered him by rope to where Jesus was and he with the help of the faith (action) of his friends was healed. You see that sometimes you may not be able to do for yourself but you seek the helpful action of others. They have faith in the action they take that the problem can be fixed.
Take thy car to the mechanic who knows that his action (he has faith in it) will fix the problem. If one action doesn't fix it then he does this acton and then does another action until it does solve the problem or he sends you to someone else whose speciality is the action that will be aplied to fix the problem.
Do YOUR part and then if need be let others do THEIR part.

No, I check the battery, then the starter relays, then the spark plugs, then the ignition transformer. If I still haven't found the problem, I whip out the Hayne's manual.

LOL. No. I'll try again the next day to negate the chance or fluke factors, but other than that I do not except "God" to come and repair my vehicle while I'm sleeping.

I do not put my faith in material objects, but rather in God.
