As with any other problem, start with prayer. Pray long and hard, be specific asking God to help you with your faith. Ask him to open your heart to him.
Matt 7:7 says Keep on asking, and it will be given YOU; keep on seeking, and YOU will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to YOU.

The proposed alternative to some form of God is that mindless matter bounced randomly around for billions or trillions of years until by chance it evolved a mind that asks "Why am I here?"
Human beings are limited. The best human senses and thinking are not able to grasp what lies beyond them. It only takes the smallest amount of humility to believe there is more than human beings can perceive.
God is a mystery. God lies both within and beyond the realm of human comprehension.
Human beings can only believe what they are capable believing.
What ever one believes about God has no bearing what so ever on the actual truth of God.
However, what one truly believes about God has much to do with how one lives their life.
Thus, the faith of a person probably says more about that person than it does about God.
To get more faith in God, seek God. Keep asking questions.
Why am I here? What kind of person am I suppose to be? etc.
Think!

First get a bible and pray before read that God will open the eyes of your heart and speak to you as you read, then after you read take time to reflect on what you have read, this is also known as meditation. For you faith to grow you need to spend time with God and in the things of God. However keep in mind that faith is not something that is measured by men by God, there is a verse that says "with the faith of a mustard seed mountains can be moved" Just beleive and trust that God will do these things in your heart.

Believing in the existence of God is a matter of faith, that you are ready to stand firm for that belief. You do not need to show tangible proof to anyone who doubts.
If you are the one with doubts, there is no one who can help you but yourself. Try making an examination by asking many questions to yourself and to friends. It is not a matter of acquiring wisdom so that you will believe but is also in understanding every wisdom that gets into your mind which is acceptable to your heart. Believing is far from being learned, faith will what make you believe and believing will lead you to understanding.

Faith is simpler when knowledge is lesser. So, stop learning and try to forget what you have learned. 200 years ago, before mankind knew about electricity, microbiology, the universe etc, atheists didn't exist then. This is obviously because religious dogma was unchallenged. Everything inexplicable was, "Gods will." A man who knows nothing except how to do his job, procreate and where his local church is will find faith as simple as breathing.

Study. Learn everything you can about God, His attributes, His plan for mankind, His regulations, His hope for us as humans. The more you learn, the more you will appreciate God as you come to understand His plan. The more you understand, the more you will have faith that He is, and love Him. It's all a really NICE circle! You might contact your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, and let them know of your desires about learning more about faith in God. They will be happy to speak with you in your own home, using your own Bible, and show you how you can come to appreciate and love and believe in God more fully. Good luck to you in your search for spirituality! Give Witnesses a chance to talk to you... you might just be surprised at what they have to say! :)

He will meet you wherever you're at. Do you want to meet Him at the heart level, He will if you worship and adore Him. Do you want to meet Him at a "head" level, well then read and study His word. If it is on a more personal level that you want to meet Him, then you need to find a body of Believers who can help you. I have several web sites where you can access a variety of information that will help you. Let me share with you this, that I have followed Him for 38+ years and His word has been proven to me over and over. You could for instance read the last few chapters of the book of Job and read how G-d answers Job and his well-meaning friends. You can read the Gospel of John, which is the most spiritual of all the gospels. The bible teaches us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of G-d. One of my websites which I will post here has reasonings that will help you understand the nature of G-d, links to other of my sites can be accessed there as well. Look especially for the Forward Files which contain article of inspirations which were forwarded to me and seems to be trafficed regularly. Know that He is real. Know that He loves you. Know that His imprint is on you and that He cares for you. Know that you are loved, by more then G-d but by His followers of whom I can claim to be one of.

The Bible said "The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth His handy work". If you believe random coincidences evolve into this unfathonable universe then you are indeed lost. Otherwise, believe in the extremely intelligent God who created us for eternity - and will give us eternal life just by trusting
Him and believing in the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus
Christ.
We lost eternal life by disobedience of Adam and Eve - but will
gain eternal life again through Obedience.

church is good and reading the bible. I believe in God through faith and I think that sometimes that takes a while. Just pray and think about it when the ocean has tides or the wind blows, or how flowers blossom. It is him saying look I am here. I give you these beautiful things.
