For me, I rely upon the Bible, it says, "Faith comes by hearing the Word of God." Maybe it isn't something you do.. it's something you allow God to do in you?
I heartedly believe that if you are seeking truth, greenleaves, and ask, with all sincerity, the higher power or force in the world that you can imagine, for understanding, that you will receive it.
I am most troubled by the fact that you are not comfortable with what you believe. I think it is important for you to find a place of beliefs that you can live with.
