Surrender-
It requires trust not fear
‘Belief’, that word in the New Testament; ‘Pisteuo’, ultimately means “to put ones Fatih in; to trust”. Belief is a verb. It’s something you must do.
“Perhaps the opposite of faith isn’t doubt but fear…to lack faith perhaps isn’t as much an intellectual disbelief in the existence of God as fear and distrust that there is a good God…how do you count on life when the hopes don’t add up?…the hopes don’t have to add up…the blessings do” — Anna Voskamp (One Thousand Gifts).
