Please, do go ahead and tell me she just didn't have enough faith. She was only putting her life on the line, after all.
I would never assume she didn't have enough faith. A lot of Christians teach that with enough faith, anything is possible. I believe that it's not the amount of faith, but the object of faith that matters. But there are times when God in His wisdom chooses to say "no" to our requests, but that doesn't mean He wasn't there.
Is there a faith meter?? What amount of faith.. what the hell does that even mean??
