How?
You start picking up the pieces that you have dropped, but this time with more knowledge from the lessons you have learned since then and having a much stronger conviction of the value and importance of what you are going to accomplish this time around.
Welcome back to the fold and Peace be with you!

It's trust! I gave up God for ten years! It is the hardest thing to do -live life and go through struggles alone - not knowing that there is hope, not knowing if anyone truly cares.
I had alot of miracles happen in my life - I've had a lot of near death situations.
Some how I had someone watching over me - I came back about a year ago!
I talk to God just like he's right here with me - just invisible, but the energy is there!
I pick up my bible I just open it anywhere, pray that he will speak to me and bam... something hits me!
May seem insignificant - But it really helps get me through!
It's hard to remember that he is there, that he does hear me, that he does allow a door to be open when I think I'm stuck!
So all in all it is not religion it is your personal relationship, friendship, some one to know is always there, you're never alone!
It brings a sort of peace - For me Anyway.
And believe me I went far from him, and was very resentful!

I have found from personal experience - while you may feel hollow, dead and empty inside.., reading the Bible and praying - EVEN IF those prayers feel hollow though you know you mean them.
Our emotions betray us. Our belief in God is not about emotion but "knowing". Keep reading the Bible even if its just a few verses or a chapter or whatever - and pray even if you feel like it is a waste of time.
At some point - things begin to spark again - but never ever fall into the trap that our walk with God is totally wrapped up in emotion. Emotion is good - and we use emotion in worshiping and so forth - but what I am saying is - if you feel hopeless and lost when you come back to God - do not let that lack of emotion make you believe you have lost God - UNLESS - you actually walked away. Simply come back and love him because he loves you.
At some point you will start to feel or see it click again. Just never give up. I've been there and know what I am talking about. I would be too ashamed to mention how far away from God I walked - but you can come back.

It can be hard. Things like this are like relationships with people. We get hurt and feel abandoned. So, it take time to get back what we once had. I not sure if you asking from a Christian perspective or other belief. But, it would hold true regardless. In my case, being Christian, I felt abandoned and hurt by God. I read a lot of the Psalms and was still sad. I have came back and Trust God, but, I still have sadness too. It just hard, I know a lot of this is really not God's Fault, but, my own, just hard coming to grips. But, I getting there it just take time and the will to Trust again.

Soup.
A warm blanket.
An old episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on VHS.
Fishing.
95% of the world is suffering and pain. It'll never change, it'll never stop. The reason why life is worth living is that 5%. And finding it all over again, year after year, decade after decade. This is the grand pursuit: so many reasons to give up, so much to yet find. In the world. In people. In yourself. The time to give up is when life doesn't surprise you anymore. If your life is worth living, you'll find that that is a very tall order to fill.
But be fair to yourself: if something is causing you grief follow Michael Caine's advice in The Weather Man:
"In this s*** life, there's a lot of things that need chucking, in this s*** life. There's always looking after."

warmly, patiently and kindly show them the truth of it all through Bible study of accurate truths....and day to day events - few though they may seem - that show wondrous miracles, eveidence of how our Grand Creator meant it to be....
this suffering and man-made societies is opposed to God's true and perfect purpose for humans. it's all temporary until God sees fit to step in forcefully - he has the right anyway; who can stop Him? - to correct all the wickedness and misrepresentation of Him and His elevated ways. best part, He reverses all the damage brought on by Satan, wicked persons and imperfection, sin and death.
the Bible solidly proves all this and much, much more.....
also, find loving family and friends to be support and strength for them...again, a Bible teaching.

ask yourself why you want to regain your faith back, and there is your answer, your heart will lead you back.

faith comes with reading the bible, focus on how you get your faith first and retun to that after any lost that will remind you and encourage your faith.

Time is what brings it all back, there's no magic cure. Plain and simple "time"
