Faith is anchored on knowledge.

"... The just shall live by faith." 

Romans 1:17

Faith is not based on your feelings; it is based on the Word of God.

For instance, when you go to a doctor and the doctor tells you that you are going to take such and such a drug for three weeks and you are going to be fine. Because of what the doctor said, you went and took those drugs expecting to get better just as he said. You expressed faith in the doctor's words and acted accordingly.

So, what is faith? We can define faith as acting on the truth that we believe in the Word of God. Thus, believing that the Word of God is true and acting upon it is faith.

Have you ever thought about the fact that whenever you are travelling, you do not go to the pilot if you are travelling by air, neither do you go to the driver if you are travelling by road demanding they show you their licence to prove that they can convey you safely to your destination. You just have faith that the pilot can fly the plane and the driver can drive the vehicle. This proves to you that faith is acting based on what you believe.

Secondly, just as you entered that plane or vehicle believing that the pilot or driver can take you to your destination, faith is trusting God to do what He has said.

Prayer.

I believe and I speak based on my belief and confidence in the Word of God that all that God has spoken concerning me and my destiny in His Word shall be accomplished in their season. There shall not fail any of His good Word concerning me in Jesus Name. Amen.

Doing the Word

Let your faith rest in the fidelity of God's Word. Go ahead and do what the Word of God said you should do knowing it will produce the desired result.
