(from Ecclesiastes)
The opposite of bold faith is the conceit of presumption. We must not forget that God is Holy. He hears our prayers but needs no advise. He does not need to be persuaded to do what is good, because He is motivated by nothing else but His Goodness.
Nothing keeps a male form becoming a man like promiscuity. If he thinks he can have what only a husband can rightfully have, he has no incentive to grow up and be responsible. Women without virtue who give themselves to men without honor, kill their own children or bring them up without fathers.
This life is precious but our days are numbered. Before we know it, they are gone. We will then be answerable for the life the Father of Spirits has given us. Our choices will either bless or condemn us.
