I know how that is, because I was in the same spot as you. I too believed in God (and still do, of course) but due to certain hardships, I wasn't as strong in my faith as I could have been. My advice to you is to get involved with Christ-like people at your local church - if you do join a church. Join a small group, gain a spiritual mentor, engage in reading the Bible while taking notes, and then simply pray for God to work in your life and reveal himself to you. A lot of bad situations can lower our faith. Maybe it's wondering when that job will come around after so many months of rejections. Or maybe it's wondering when will your financial issues get better. So many things can play a factor, but becoming engaged in Scripture and the church will allow you to understand hard situations more from God's perspective.

Pray and ask God to help you strengthen your faith. The apostles even asked for more faith. (Luke 17:5)

We are told at John 17:3 "This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ." Who is "the only true God?" Psalms 83:18 tells us: "May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth." How would this happen? Acts 15:14 The apostles had a meeting and: 'After they had finished speaking, James replied: "Men, brothers, hear me. Symeon has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name." As we see from these Scriptures, God's personal name is Jehovah and he has taken out of the nations, during these last days, "a people for his name." Jehovah's Witnesses are from all religions, nationalities, customs and languages. Yet, we are in unity with Jesus Christ and his Father, Jehovah. Why? Because the Bible is our sword of truth in all matters of teaching and preaching. We "accept the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, that is, God's word." Ephesians 6:17 We do not give our own opinions when teaching the Bible nor do we teach any traditions of men because as Jesus said: "You make the word of God invalid because of your tradition..." Mark 7:13 People of Christendom believe that Jesus is Almighty God because of the man made tradition of what Catholicism created about the 4th century. You will find this to be true if you look into the New Catholic Encyclopedia. The teaching of a fiery hell for wicked people is a man made teaching, or tradition. Thanking Jehovah for your everyday necessities and praying for more faith will help strengthen your faith. Reading Scriptures such as Jeremiah 29:11 Psalms 1:1-3 Revelation 21:3 and 4 Isaiah 43:10-12 are just a few you could begin with. There is an international website, jw.org that I would like to invite you to look into. See Bible Teachings > Bible Questions Answered; See also About Us > Activities, About Us > Conventions and About Us > Frequently Asked Questions. Watch videos such as Why Study the Bible? Does God have a Name? and What is God's Kingdom? Love brings unity and true happiness to those who express it to others. You can find such love that Jesus said we must have among ourselves if you request your FREE personal Bible study online. Millions pray for more faith just like you, and are gaining more faith by means of their Bible studies. Thank you so much for this question.

Read the Bible.
But don't do it uncritically. Try to see if it actually makes sense to you. Look for evidence of your beliefs but also look for contradictions and inconsistencies. Make up your own mind instead of just following the herd. (religion is mostly about social acceptance not the religion itself)
