Some people might _____ that they don't have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don't _____ it as a faith. Daily _____, such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
Faith _____hearing and doing. I made a decision yesterday—to _____reading the newspapers full of too much sad and _____ news. Why? Because I _____ there was a drop of my mental state after reading the newspapers.
