There are always two parts in cultivating faith - actions and intent .. actions we can control , intent is like walking on water .. mind is hard to control but it comes around through practice .. So , my suggestion is to join a local institution, something you can go to daily or at least weekly .. follow the rituals ..not cuz there is value in going through the motions ..but because actions are easy to control and they gradually lead to purification of "intent" .. Once you find the peace , it pulls you in .. My 2 :-)
