Do I know that? No. If I knew that, I would never have doubt.

I can prove Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
I can prove the irrationality of √2.
Nothing can make me doubt these things, I know them. I understand them. I can explain them to people. I can repeatedly prove them.

I can't prove God will take care of me. I must take that on faith.
That is the beauty of it.

If I could prove God, it wouldn't be God. And it wouldn't be faith.

Its a simple yes or no question: Do you comprehend God's ways?

If "no", by definition you are agnostic, despite what you believe the word to mean.
I guess all that makes sense to you, but it all sounds like nonsense to me. I do not believe there is a god. How could I say that I have faith in him or comprehend his ways? That would be nonsense. I could say I comprehend the ways of Santa Claus, but that does not prove he exists.
