I encourage you to read Alma 32. As previously stated, praying, fasting, studying the scriptures, coming to church - all of these helps the spirit stay with us. I promise you, that if you regularly pray with a sincere heart and with that desire to believe, it will come. Alma 32:27 "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words." Alma 32Â*
