From The25Virtues Survey:

Belief in something greater than myself which informs my worldview and actions. This is the foundation for my life.

Helps us get through the rough spots.

Faith will carry you through the hardships. If I don’t have faith, obstacles may not be overcome, thus goals may not be achieve. As a person with low self-esteem, faith brings strength.

Strong belief in a person, idea, or thing that defies the confines of what can be proven. Importance: Faith is vital to hope in humanity, love, trust, and acceptance. I believe faith to be the one thing that unifies all of humanity. Everyone seems to have faith in something, whether it be "the best burger in the world" statements, or dogmatic faith statements, belief in something or someone keeps us moving toward a future we can't control.

My personal faith is the guiding force in my life. It is by my faith that I determine my values so I'd say it is my number 1 virtue.

Believing in God (Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit).

Substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen.

Faith keeps me charged.

Faith is the willingness to trust in another, whether it is God or your fellow man. Without faith, people become hardened and unable to trust and be open to one another, excluding love, mercy , compassion, etc...

You need to faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Belief in a greater being .... belief in yourself... believing that things will work out in ad difficult situation.

Belief in things unseen. I believe in a higher power that I choose to call God. From that belief, which comes about through faith, all other things are possible.   

Believing in things unseen. On this plane, it is imperative for me to have faith in my higher existence, my higher power, and where we TRULY came from.

In yourself, others, and a higher power make life more enjoyable and understandable.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Heb 11:1). It's not bullheaded - it's based on your knowledge of the world so far. Faith is like light: by it we can see the beauty of the world.
