God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.All are given faith to a certain degree. It is of course a gift. But we can cultivate it. As Paul suggests in v. 2: Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. This says to me we can rewire, train or change our thought patterns to be more faithful. One way we can re-train our thought patterns is to reject lies and errors as soon as they enter our consciousness. Another way is to avoid destructive thinking - reject denigrating thoughts. Another is to reject temptation. Another is to reject doubt. I suppose there are many things that we must focus on in order to re-train our thought patterns. These will increase our faith and trust in Him.
Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. --Alma 32:21
