Hebrews 11:6 · World English Bible
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
Faith names the confident feeling that a chosen state already exists and holds, kept even while the eyes report the opposite. Belief in a far-off deity moves nothing.

MANIFESTATION
Faith names the confident feeling that a chosen state already exists and holds, kept even while the eyes report the opposite. Belief in a far-off deity moves nothing. What draws the invisible into form is conviction, and conviction alone, because a doubting mind gives the power nothing to work with.
To believe that he is means to feel the wished-for condition as a present fact, not a someday. To seek diligently is to keep living from that end steadily, without slipping back to the lack between times. The reward comes as the natural yield of assumption maintained, never as payment for pleading. A state held with quiet certainty ripens into the life that matches it, and the man who trusts the unseen as already done is the man it comes to.
Manifestation lens
Where do you keep setting down the certainty, then picking it back up?
The mind pulled in two directions accomplishes nothing. Steadiness, held gently and kept, is what makes the practice bear fruit.
A mind divided by doubt is like water stirred with mud, unable to reflect anything clearly. Settle it and the image appears on its own.
What you are looking for is looking for you. The seeking is not a plea sent far away, it is a turning toward what is already turned toward you.
