Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling - feelings don't help much when you're in the lions' den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work.

Remember how He asked for help in performing his miracles: Fill the water pots, stretch out your hand, distribute the loaves.
