'Real' faith

Only yesterday, I, with great care, gathered my thoughts into questions begging a definition and description of faith.

Today, I lie reading.  Not researching my questions but in respite, soaking in quiet, sustaining devotions.  And I read:

Real faith isn't the belief that God will do a particular thing; real faith is the conviction that God is good, no matter what He does and however He chooses to answer our prayers.*

Should I be surprised at this answer offered at suspiciously coincidental timing?  Isn't this the journey I am looking for?
