Having awoke this morning once again with this thought I looked at the greek to see if I could justify this interpretation and found that the word "your" in verse 5 could be interpreted "you", or yourself, and the interpretation of "faith" to be "by faith" as it is in Hebrews 11.

Robert,

Did you advance to 1:5d? If not, check what I say there. The word “you” is a genitive plural and refers to the entire constituency to whom Peter is writing.
