What is the burden of faith? Where is the burden of faith? And what is meant by “measure of faith” ?

Neither is not a phrase that is familiar to me - can you give us them in context?

For example: if you elect a president based on what he has promised to do, where is the burden of faith (trust) to do it. In respect to Jesus where is the burden of Faith? And what is burden of Faith? And ref. to “measure of Faith” (Rom:12:3)

“measure of faith” in the Romans passage is part of a caution against judging oneself against others - each person is given a “measure of faith” by God and can only be judged on what they do with what they have been given. In this case the “measure” is like a scoop that would be used to measure grain.

I’m afraid I still don’t really have a sense of the context of “burden of faith”? And the only place I’ve found it outside this question is as the title of a book novel about two women who make different choices about aborting a child conceived in a sexual assault, which doesn’t seem to fit your question, either.
