Philosophical Thought: is there a difference between expectations and faith?

Assuming that you have in mind the *positive* expectations here, it reminds me of this famous Havel quote.
I think that faith and hope are synonyms in this context.
This one is just a good complementary thought.
Is this the direction you're pointing out to?
Expectations - being the most probable outcome of the next event
Faith - is rather unrelated to specific individual event outcomes, and rather about strongly believing in some principals.
People use them interchangeably, which is fine in some contexts, but they can also have very different meanings.
Reminds me of this! 
I love this!

Expectation is waiting for something, faith is knowing.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 exactly!
I think quite often many claim unwavering faith and expect outcomes, however lose sight of that faith when things don’t go according to plan.
With faith, we know the road isn’t always easy. We know that we will reach the destination. We know we’re on an adventure, a Heros Journey with many twists and turns.
We expect the unexpected, and challenges no longer phase us.
I believe so.
Expectations are routed in physical confidence in the propensity of an outcome due to criteria you know to produce that outcome. All pieces are already in play.
Faith requires placing confidence in another being, entity, etc to come through. Not all in play.
Faith is also typically referencing positivity in outcome. And finds reward in any mechanism that was necessary to make the desired outcome occur.
Expectations can typically be applied both ways. Expectations also removes the "magic" of an outcome occurring.
