I know through prayer, trust in God, and beliefs can do it. Are there any other ways?

Read His Word. Before you do, ask Him to guide you. Read a Gospel out loud, very slowly-drink it in word by word. If a particular verse or word strikes you stop. Close your eyes and ponder that verse or word in relationship to you and the Lord. Ask the Lord about the Verse or Word and what it means. Then just relax and open your heart and soul to him. You will know when He has come to you....then simply enjoy being with your God.
Also, find a church and start attending regularly. That will help. Develop a regular prayer routine.... mark out from this time to that time to be with Your Savior. He's waiting for you.
In His love,
J.

Jesus was asked a very similar question in Luke 17
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I atrow not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
It basically says that to increase faith you have to follow the commandments without expecting anything in return.

Seeking God, In his word prayer and meditation.
Those who seek the truth receive a gift of faith and through faith comes revelation from God from revelation comes a personal relationship with God.

The only way is to know the truth. It may not be easy for you, or whoever else.
The fact is that the creator of this world is Ialdabaoth, sometimes called Saklas or Samaël. This false God is nothing more than the devil himself. He preaches violence, hates and destruction.
If you are willing to at least spend 15 minutes to know the truth, please visit this web site that will tell you how it happened:

Obedience. He works through those who obey Him. Jesus demonstrated true faith. He did the will of His Father. The more we obey the more we understand and build our relationship with God. What relationship does a disobedient child have with their parent?
God bless

Whenever I'm lacking faith I surround myself with fellow believers who remind me that God loves me and has a plan for my life. They are always able to comfort and encourage me. And to me, they are a tangible form of God's love.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
~Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)~
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. "
~Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)~

Read the bible, obey God's law, Respect the words of Jesus and try to be as Christ-like as you can.
Jesus said "Believe in me and you shall be saved"
I don't know why people make this out to be so hard.
God is not asking for that much. Just believe in his son.

Meditate upon the Holy Spirit. God dwells in the form of Holy Spirit you know, being one with the Son and the Father and all. (holy Trinity)
It has also been refered to as the Flame of the Pentacost...Christ light...comforter..or sacred fire.

Read other peoples experiences in life, autobiographies, etc. This is an article on Mother Theresa, how she lost faith, but still did God's work.

Exercise it.
Ask God for more.
Stay in the Word. (Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by
the Word.)
