→Is the opposite of faith worry? It likely is not.
Of course, doubt is underlying condition of worry because doubters are more likely to have fear/worry. Doubt can cause a turning away of one's entire faith and cause apostasy. Doubt can also cause people not to pray or cause them to have ineffectual prayer. In short, BJibbs did a helpful edit as his first edit by asking for a citation. I decided to remove the sentence indicating that worry is the opposite of faith. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 01:04, 24 December 2018 (EST)

==IMHO==
This article, at least the Intro to the article, is over-intellectualized. Christians are required to "have the faith of child." Faith is merely trust, trust in God. This article present it as a work of the flesh that must somehow be striven for or achieved before one has access to salvation.
IMO, the Intro needs to be trimmed down and simplified. The pious intellectual moralizing can be put elsewhere. Our primary readership is children. We should encourage trust in God, not turn it into an intellectual exercise (which granted, many children as well as adults, will never understand).
