Faith is not the absence of fear but complete confidence in God’s faithfulness and omnipotence. Just as a baby confidently trusts the parents, so does simple faith in God.
Simple faith is simply trusting – a complete abandonment of one’s fate in God’s hand. Many people do not receive from God today because they have become so familiar with God and sophisticated. They have left the era of complete trust in God and now they go about adding 2 plus 2.
