This is where some have misunderstood faith: they don’t speak because they’ve believed; they speak to believe. Though they confess God’s Word, they actually struggle with their believing. This explains why they get frustrated when things don’t turn out as they expected. When the Lord said to Abram “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee” (Genesis 17:5), the man was still childless. However, he immediately began to call himself “Abraham” (father of many). He didn’t wait to see the physical children before he confessed who he was; he believed and therefore spoke accordingly.
