Faith always works in combination with something. Faith works in combination with love. The Bible says that faith worketh by love. The opposite force of faith is fear. Fear and faith cannot go together because they are opposite forces.
Faith needs to work in conjunction with love, because love keeps fear away.
Also, patience works with faith. I want to teach you on another area, and that is the combination of faith and hope. I looked in a concordance one day and found there was just about as much on hope as there was on faith. The Word of God is filled with hope. We've had the wrong impression of hope for too long.
