    Default "Antecedent"

    Developing faith is not easy. None of us is born with this trait in place, even if we are born into a religiously observant family. Each person has to work on his or her own to develop their relationship with G‑d.

    Is     "this trait" refer to "developing faith?"

    This suggests that it is just faith.
