Function of Faith

What is the method of function for faith in God?

If someone believes in God, it is only logical for them to have faith that God will provide the best outcome in circumstances where God does execute his will.

The question arises, what are the circumstances where God executes his will?

My rational understanding of God is that, he influenced circumstances for the allowance of the existence of humans, at least partially for reason of them to have free will. If God wants to allow us to have free will, then he would not knowingly alter circumstances in our lives in order to alter our decisions, unless our will is for God to alter those circumstances and choices. This is where prayer comes in, as asking and willing God to alter circumstances which align with his will. So, a theoretical requirement for God to provide the best outcome coinciding with his will, is for the person to will Gods will.

The next question is, if this is a requirement, how can someone have faith in themselves, to will God to execute his will? If Gods will requires influencing the person to make certain decisions, how can the person have faith in themselves, that they will will his will (willingly :), and that they themselves will interpret Gods influence correctly? It seems that it should be difficult for someone to be confident of their own interpretation of Gods will, in that, often Gods will seems indistinct, and that perhaps the person could be asserting their own will, rather than really allowing God to influence their decisions.

In order for someone to be confident that they are effectively willing God’s influence, and interpreting it, experimental evidence can provide assurance. Just as the procedure of science, and virtually any rational analysis, one can observe experiments of execution to provide supporting evidence. Someone can analyze their past occurrences of willing and interpreting Gods influence, as the experiments, and verify if the outcome of those circumstances, seemed to be effectively God’s will.

If a method of allowance and interpretation of God’s will seems to be experimentally evident, then the person can be contextually confident, as this function of faith.
