I suggest a book called the science of god it uses science to argue for gods existence. It shows connections between the bible and scientific theories like the big bang. Wether or not it helps with your faith issues it is a fascinating book, and well worth reading.

Well first let's start with this question. Why do you think you've lost faith? There may well be a good reason for it.
As for proving god exists, don't you realize that's what can't be proven? It's all based on faith, which in normal terms means there is no physical proof, just belief or 'hope'. This means if you decide to have faith in god, there will never be any proof presented to you period, you just have to have faith and believe and this may be the reason you lost your faith in the first place. Once you actually sit yourself down and think about the whole general idea, sometimes it's almost like an epiphany, you realize how childish it seems, how utterly ridiculous it really is.
You lost your faith because something just didn't click anymore, it no longer made sense to you and that's a good thing. Trying to force yourself to have faith again more than likely won't happen, you lost it for whatever reason and usually it's because you began to realize something you hadn't before and that isn't necessarily something bad either. Either way, you have to figure out what you believe and what you think is best for yourself. Nobody on here, no matter who they are, can tell you what to do, because there is nothing that can be done about something like this. Each individual picks what they choose to believe and what they choose not to believe, it's not something you can just force yourself into having again. The best advice I can give you is to try to find yourself, what do you really want? Do you really need to have faith in god? Do you really need to feel like there is a higher power? Is anything going to really change if you do have faith in god? If there are going to be changes, are those changes worth the stress of trying to retrieve it?

No I wont help you get your faith back or prove it to you that God exists.
Just go n see a Mom and her child. Try to understand what faith and trust is like with which a child looks up to the Mom and try also to understand how the Mom responds n cares.
No words are necessary, no gestures are necessary, just go and observe.
Then feel that you are the child and there is someone who is looking after you as a Mom.
If you are able to feel anything at all even for a fraction of a second, then you'll get all you want.
Bless you.

You can't PROVE god exists. That's the whole point of the concept of faith.
Rather than believing in the Christian god, just get in tune w/ your spirituality. Explore the concepts of Christianity that you found so intriguing and create your own beliefs based on personal experience. Read about other religions that you have heard of and know nothing about. Perhaps you will even become religious again, but at least your faith won't be blind.

PROVE to me that he doesn't and I'll give you my arguments in return.
This question is ridiculous. If this is your true mental capacity, we are better off with you being a non believer. You really think that even though people have been asking this question for 2000+ years, that all of a sudden now someone will be able to prove God's existance to you? That's why it's called faith. AND that's why you lost faith, because you never understood it in the first place. If you really need physical proof or evidence than go pick up another hobby, ad don't bother wasting our times. If you want to be a true believer, than learn something about christianity first, than talk to someone seriously about it.

You have lost your faith in the existence of a god? No matter, no worries. The world will go right along without it. You are better off spending your time and energy in a humanist, secular way. Be good, be kind and be just and all will work out. A successful, fulfilling life doesn't need a god as part of the equation.

Prove it to yourself. You are here aren't you? You did not create yourself. Don't forget faith is the substance of things hoped for,not yet seen. Look around you, at some of the creations of God. He's everywhere. He's in the morning dew upon a flower, he's the breath of a newborn in his first hour, He's in the stars that glitter in the night, and he will never leave you in your flight. Trust God and remember, when we fall and it seems we are unable to get up, it is then that he carries us. Keep the faith. God love you.

That is the definition of faith believing something when you cannot actually prove it. But you cannot disprove God exists either. People today act like they know everything, they act like a God cannot exist cause he cannot be proved. But we do not know everything and never will, because of how time works.

The Bible states: “Every house is built by someone, of course; but God built everything that exists.” (Hebrews 3:4, The Jerusalem Bible) Since any house, however simple, must have a builder, then the far more complex universe, along with the vast varieties of life on earth, must also have had a builder. And since we acknowledge the existence of humans who invented devices such as airplanes, televisions, and computers, should we not also acknowledge the existence of the One who gave humans the brain to make such things? Yes, we can know that there is a God by the things he has made. “For [God’s] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things [God] made.”—Romans 1:20.

"The greatest artist of all is God. His masterpiece is His creation in all its depth and breadth. As you see the created order, you look naturally to the Creator. His Word tells us that this creation reveals many of the characteristics of the Creator—His power and divine attributes. The more you learn about this Creator, the more you see and appreciate and want to study His creation.
"Not only is the physical universe the direct result of God's nature, but it is created in such a way that even a basic understanding of it can lead to an understanding of God. The why of origins study . . . is to enlarge [our] understanding of God. As God's works are studied, He becomes larger and larger, and the believer begins to more fully understand and know Him.
"The believer should not be seeking evidence of God or of God as Creator. This sets the evidence as a higher authority than God. Rather, he should be seeking a greater understanding of both the creation and the Creator based on the starting point that God is the Creator and that the creation is created."
Kurt P. Wise and Sheila A. Richardson, Something From Nothing (Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 2004), 11.
