"Waiting & Faith"

Consider your own answer to this question: "What is the relationship between waiting and faith?" Can there be one without the other? Does one come before the other? Are they the same thing? Do they overlap? Do we learn one from the other? Are they positives or negatives?
How about from a Christian perspective? Can we truly have faith if we already have everything we want? Doesn't faith require waiting? Would we need faith if there weren't any unknowns or unanswered issues in our lives? Are we perhaps too eager at times to "be done" with a problem that we miss the fact that we are living in faith because of it? Do we want faith or do we want resolutions so that we don't have to live in the scary unknown of faith?
