I used to think it was our offering to God, but it's God's gift to us. What faith "feels" like is a numbness that allows us to walk through our fears, untouched, at least while we're walking; like emotional suspended animation, we go at a "numb" pace - aware of what is around us, but somehow capable of moving through our troubles.
Struggle comes from doubt and fear; faith comes from a deep surrender with our noisiest fears echoing gradually to silence. It is a paradoxical slowing down of the ego and a quickening of courage, free will and accountability. The surrender is not to chance, but to truth.
