You don’t say you have faith in something when you know it to be a fact because you experience it and rely on it every day. Similarly, all the doubts about God can only be resolved when you have direct experience of God - when you have realized God.
“Another devotee wrote the name of Rama on a leaf and handed it to a man who wanted to cross the sea, saying, 'Fear not, my friend; have faith and walk across the deep. But mind you do not show any want of faith: for then you will be drowned.' The man had tied up the leaf within the folds of his cloth. He went his way, walking on the sea. As he went, he was seized with a desire to look at the writing. He brought out the leaf and read and the name of Rama (God) written large upon it. At this, he thought to himself, 'Only the name of Rama! Is that all?' And on the instant with loss of faith, down he went under the water!” – Sri Ramakrishna in the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna
