The one with "passive" faith says, "I will be prayed for and IF it is His will to heal me, I will be restored to health," -- but right there is an 'IF' small in itself but a most mighty stumbling block to faith.
Had the woman with the issue of blood sat by the wayside saying, "Well, if it is His will to heal me, I am willing. I will just sit here at ease and if He happens to come to me and heal me, all right; if not, all right, but I will make no great effort until He does," do you think she would ever have been made whole? It was her "active faith" that pressed through the throng and touched the Master's robe that brought about her healing.
