Sure but I mean I'm sure there are cases were people have faith just because of the violence around them and this world is very cruel one and people find their way out with faith.

Is it possible that it is what you are letting go of through belief that is bringing healing. After all your consciousness dictates your actions which dictates your consequences.
By trusting in God or a higher power you are releasing control(which you really don't have anyway)By trying to control you are holding negative thoughts(whether real or not) in your mind and stressed to find a solution to sometimes problems that don't even exist.
When you release conscious control you become in the reality now and not stuck in thoughts of past or future which really don't exist either.You are to control your mind and your thoughts and your mind and thoughts should not be controlling you.
Faith is intuitive knowingness and gives you the ability to create actions in a positive state in the present moment instead of being dictated by thoughts of worry about past and future which do not exist.The difference is between the person who is trying to do life(which creates a hole in someone or huge emptiness from always being in a state of resistance to there own mind from thoughts ) and a person who is being life like normal kids who get to live moment by moment just being and living life as an adventure instead of a life of ruts as a person controlled by the mind.

the paradox is when we find faith in something other than our selves
but that capacity to have faith came from within us is the first place.
attributing strength to a separate entity other than ourselves only widens the gap between us and our capacity.
as the belief that one is powerless over their unfortunate situation, the ability to have faith in oneself becomes more difficult because of the belief one is powerless.
once the knowledge of power comes from within, then faith in oneself can only grow because the foundation of faith has been nurtured to bear it's fruit
