Anyone that grew up watching their mother cook probably observed something pretty dynamic that they did not pay that much attention to. As the mother is preparing the ingredients and walking towards the kitchen, she is believing passively that the oven will surely turn on when it is time to cook.
However, that is not all. Most of the time, the oven will not just turn on by itself! Yes, it is possible perhaps. Yet what the mother will do every single time is TURN THE KNOB on the over to turn it on. Yes, she did believe that it would turn on, but it was more that just a belief. MY Bible states that faith without works is dead.
When God gives His Supreme Word or guides us and calls us to something, we are supposed to have absolute faith that what He Has said is absolute truth. Yet, that does not mean that we sit on the couch all day. If the Lord says there is a job for you, I would be picking up my phone and dialing, not just waiting for some random job to call me.
I am not saying that this could not happen. However, God calls you not to just sit all day and wait for everything to be handed to you, He calls you to grow in Him. That requires seeking and moving, the "works" mentioned before. Because by itself, the oven just wont turn on!
