People have said faith is spelt RISK and it is in many ways. But, sometimes it's more like TRUST. like how you tust a parent when you're little or you trust a spouse that you know so well, that's more what faith looks like to me.
someone once said to me they could never live by faith as it's too risky. But actually, just as you know that your parents will provide for you and look after you when you're little, living by faith is like that - isn't it? because you know Jesus you believe in him and believe thathe will look after you. its not so much a battle but a relationship.
Anyway, words are one thing walking it is quite another! when everything else is shaken and falls away, that relationship is still there. theology might be out the window, but Jesus is still there.
With a major illness in the family, its not standing on sermons about faith that counts - it's that Jesus is still there in the middle of it.

My spellings of faith are more like H-E-L-P . . .
Couldnt think of another one, but I really agree with what you write ms. bainbridge
I find its often a case of perspective - small faith in a big God. You don't need a massive window to see a massive panorama - you just need to be real close to a small one ....
im sure that analogy worked better with more coffee
