I'm not sure what you mean by truly living by faith?

Good one, other one.

God doesn`t want us to be robots or spoon fed babes, He desires us to grow up learning to hear & trust Him. And that takes quite some time learning as Willa said, to take it a step at a time.

No, it is putting everything in your life in God's hands. You go about your day and God guides and directs your steps. The Holy Spirit is your counselor. If something comes up and you make the wrong move you should feel it. The Holy Spirit convicts you. Sometimes people do what they want anyway. Their conscience becomes numb. They may be walking or running away from God.

I've been doing that for 30+ years......     but I still have to do things and make decisions and protect my family and myself.....    I'm not physically strong enough to hold off young people if they decide to hurt my family with my hands, so do you expect God to send someone by to protect us from harm or would you just have us beat up robbed and killed?

Do you not trust that God will protect you?

I trust he gave me the common sense to do it myself.    there is no difference in setting on your butt expecting him to protect you than setting on a street corner expecting someone to feed you.

Being mindful that different people place different meanings into the words "live by faith" I interpret them as living by belief and trust in the Lord regardless of "gifts of _____________" (fill in the blank).  I trust God. I take God at his Word.

To answer your question more directly, the people you mention simply do not take God at his Word / do not trust him.
