Perhaps it will broaden your horizons

So the Disciples got to travel with Jesus and see his miracles first hand, yet still couldn't conjure up enough faith in him to be satisfactory? What hope then do people in the present day have, after reading a 2,000 year old book?
I would like to add that I am in no way attacking anyone. Serious question
I see it as the effect of the Holy Spirit on the unconscious mind as well as the conscious mind.

And the solely part was in respect to you saying it was an effect of the Spirit and where Paul said it was from God so no man should boast.

At the same time, if your sense of confidence is not complete, you can make a conscious decision to rely on the other person anyway. As an act of will, you can may aside your doubts and act accordingly. So when Jesus said "All things are possible to him who believes", the troubled child's father cried out "I believe! Help thou my unbelief!" (Mark ch9 v24).
In the case of Christian faith, God can help in this, as others have been pointing out. I see it as the effect of the Holy Spirit on the unconscious mind as well as the conscious mind.

I want to know how we can increase our faith, if faith is from God, and not ourselves
how work keeps faith from dying
how fasting relates to faith
and how faith works in us (I think it is a spirit or will that turns knowledge into belief
