Remember, it's not our faith - we live by the faith of the Son of God! The man prayed Lord I believe but help my unbelief. Don't know a soul during these times who are not going through something. I was diagnosed with cancer but God is greater than cancer. We are in this world but not of it. Shalom

Why is there something instead of nothing?
How did the first living cell form that can regulate and duplicate?
Why are there quantum fields ...or a time dimension?
Why does math/logic function?
Why is there physicality?
Was the universe an accident?
You don't get the complexity and logic of the universe out of randomness. Consider if a leap in logic ...is a leap of Faith.
Belief without evidence is on purpose, THIS IS A TEST.
Why would GOD hand you the answer to His own Test?

tl:dr
fight for your faith
In my experience, your heart is probably asking if God exists then where is He in your problems.
But just in case you have lost all faith indeed, God says ask and you will receive (Matthew 7:7). Try to ask Him to show you He is real, like others have done. Ask Him to help you with your unbelief.
Mark 9:23-25
“If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”
Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”
When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”
Note how the man "cried out" which indicates, to me, that He asked with all His heart
But I would say that satan is trying to have you. He is tormenting you and then asking you where is God in all of this, and if you give up your faith, it would be because he poked and poked at you until he got the desired outcome, which is your destruction. satan has many people he can do this through, sadly. Why is he picking on you? I don't know. But the answer to the question of where is God could be waiting for you to repent
1 Timothy 1:20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Or Watching and Rooting for you to overcome satan's machinations
Job 1:9-12
Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not placed a hedge on every side around him and his household and all that he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But stretch out Your
hand and strike all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face.”
“Very well,” said the LORD to Satan. “Everything he has is in your hands, but you must not lay a hand on the man himself.”
Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
Not talking down to you, because I am not perfect. How do we stand against satan when he is testing us?
Ephesians 6:10-17
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Glad you posted.
We are here to encourage and pray with you.
Please do not give up. Jesus loves you and, in the end, there is nowhere else to go but to the Lord.
John 6
66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

If you have been born again, you have the Holy Spirit that indwells you, You also have that faith that is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. You may have quinced it to a degree, but it is still in you, and is able to be activated by the word of God, which is quick, and powerful, and stronger than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.(Heb 4:12)
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.(Heb 4:16)
