What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying? How exactly would that work?

I love this question! Honestly, I do believe so. The how exactly it might work is a little complex. Don't expect magic answers.

I think there are people more psychically constituted and some can truly feel spirit in prayer and meditation. Others, not so much.What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying? How exactly would that work?

I do not believe that's true, especially with prayers of gratitude.Who would you pray to, and how? You really need some conception of God before you can pray.

In Mark 9 we see that a father was worried about his son who was being attacked by a demon. However he had a hard time believing that the child could be delivered. So he pray "help you mine unbelief" ... That seemed to work because Jesus cast the demon out. In another place we find that Jesus could not do many works because of the people's unbelief. (Matthew 13:58) So this man's prayer "help you mine unbelief" did apparently work. Yes you can pray such a prayer. Better yet, you can have someone else pray for you who you know has faith. (James 5:16) Anyway, the point is just praying in the first place shows you have a microscopic amount of faith. Or just asking this question in the first place means you have a tiny particle of faith in my opinion.What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying?
