Faith in God and His Word operates on the same principles as faith in anything else. Faith comes from the information you receive. Information can come to you through any of your five senses, or from your spirit. When you decide to accept any information as worthy of being acted upon, it becomes part of your belief system. That is how you get faith.
(Remember that, in the New Testament, faith is the noun form and believe is the verb form of the same word.)
Each one of us chooses whether we will believe something, based on our evaluation of the evidence presented to us.
No one was born with beliefs. Every belief you now have was acquired as a decision you made at some point in your life. You decided to believe what you now believe.
Since every belief you have came as a result of a decision you made, every belief can also be changed by another decision.
But because faith is always based on some evidence, we must have evidence that convinces us before we can change any belief.
Life constantly presents us with evidence which forces us to make decisions, based on this question, "Is this evidence sufficient to accept as truth?"
The primary evidence God has given us so we may have faith in Him is His Word. God is not a liar; He can be trusted. Whatever God says, always comes to pass.
ROMANS 10:17 HCSB 17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.
A literal translation of Romans 10:17 tells us that faith results from accepting the God message.
How does someone get faith in God? By being presented with truth about God, and accepting it as the truth. Faith in God comes by choosing to accept the message of God.
We must not restrict our understanding of how faith comes to our physical sense of hearing. Every way we can receive information about God is an avenue that can bring us faith.
Bible faith can result from what is seen according to John 20:8 and 20:29. Faith in God can also come through the sense of touch. Otherwise no deaf and blind person could ever be saved, for they receive the message of God through reading braille with their fingers.
You can go to the Bible and decide to believe it. Then you will have faith in God, for the Bible is God's written Word. We get faith in God by making a decision to accept God’s written Word, the Bible, as truth worthy of being acted upon.
So if someone says they don't have much faith, the solution for them is to see the evidence from God's Word on that subject, then choose to accept what God said as true.
SAY THIS: I get faith by making a decision to accept God's Word as truth worthy of acting upon.

For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
God didn't save us to condemn us (John 3:17). No, he saved us so we could come home to him and enjoy his gracious presence for all eternity. God wants us in his presence; that's what salvation is all about. He is not about to let anything keep us from that presence when our hearts belong to him. We are all headed home to our Father so that "we may live together with him" — whether we are awake (by that he means alive) or whether we have fallen asleep in Jesus (by that he means dead in Christ) — we're going to live together with him, forever!
Loving Father, thank you for my confidence in Jesus! I know that whether I live till Jesus comes or if I were to die this very day, I can have confidence that my future is with you because it is tied to Jesus' victory over sin, death, and hell. Thank you for giving me a home with you as my ultimate future. In Jesus' name, I thank and praise you. Amen.

God didn't wait till we were "good enough" to bring us his salvation. Notice the words in this context (Romans 5:6-10) to describe us without grace: powerless, ungodly, sinners, and enemies. God sent Jesus when we were lost and desperately needed his grace. But then, that's what love really means by God's definition and chosen actions (1 John 3:16). It's more than something declared or felt; it's something radically demonstrated!
Holy and loving Father, thank you for demonstrating your love in such powerful and sacrificial ways through Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.

Isn't it absolutely wonderful that the God who made the universe cares about us and our needs, hurts, anxieties, and fears?! So let's trust that he will do what is best for us and show that trust by living for him, loving him, and seeking to live out his purpose in our life (Romans 8:28-29).
Loving Father and Almighty God, I consciously place all my anxieties, worries, cares, and frustrations into your hands. I will need the Holy Spirit's help as I do my best not to dwell on them and seek to trust that you will do what is best for me and for those I love. In Jesus' name, I thank you for this promise and ask for your help in receiving this grace. Amen.
