I have faith in the economy stabilizing again, and if more people do so, the sooner the economy does stabilize again.
I have faith that the US will choose the right person for president this time.
I have faith that my watch will be repaired before I go on holiday although that is by no means certain.

Non of these I would call bad.
That's belief or trust in my opinion, not faith. Faith is belief or trust without evidence, Faith is irrational and illogical and faith is blind.
Faith isn't a synonym for trust or belief in my opinion. There is a difference.
For a start faith includes pseudosciences such as 'the law of attraction' and astrology, whereas some would call them religions, a lot wouldn't.
