@Knittinggrace this weekend I went for a walk with my daughters to look for rocks by the river. Some of the trail was difficult to traverse and my youngest was afraid. I held her hand and she successfully navigated the difficulties, and though she had faith and trust in me, it didn't overcome her fear. She was still afraid, but trusted anyways. Those who fulfill God's calling do so in spite of fear, not because of some perfect faith. Even Christ himself was so stressed he sweated blood before he fulfilled his destiny. My point is simply that everyone experiences stress, anxiety, and fear, including God himself while on earth, so emotions clearly have nothing to do with faith, nor a person's ability to fulfill God's plan for their life. I think I understand your point, but in honesty I find it both condescending and impractical to real life.
