Faith is a gift of God to us; and that gift becomes, by God's grace, a natural habit of the Christian's mind. Yes, often we do not believe and trust like we want to (Rom 7:22), yet we still think God's thoughts after him and delight in God's word in our inmost self.
Bavink wrote, "Believing is the natural breath of the children of God. Their submission to the Word of God is not slavery but freedom. In that sense faith is not a sacrifice of the intellect but mental health."
