Fear vs. Faith

How often in life have I second-guessed myself and the natural discernment and intuition that I know God has given me?
And why?
Because the details and plans went against everything my feeling was telling me.
Because it makes more sense to trust what you can see than what you can't.
But faith being "hoping in the evidence of things unseen", why do so many Christians seem to encourage you to ignore the gut feeling & look to the logistics for signs of what God wants you to do?
