Troubles with finding religion

So I grew up in the LDS church ("Mormons") and I was never very active in it, but I believed in God and Jesus and even that Joseph Smith was a prophet. I'm not even remotely part of the church anymore because of the way I've seen them handle things. In my opinion they hide child abuse and sex offenders just as bad as the Catholics. If you do something and then tell your bishop I think the bishop should tell you to turn yourself in and confess to the authorities. But that's another story.

My problem is that I can't find a church that gives me that spiritual feeling and reassurance that there is a God and the things Jesus taught are true. Everything seems fake and even when I read and study the Bible on my own I'm unsure about a lot of things. I know there's a God and Jesus died on the cross and came back from the dead and all the things he did isn't just a fairy tale made up by the System to keep their people in check. I still do have faith just not the spiritual feelings that gave reassurance.

Has anyone else lost their faith and how are you supposed to get it back?

Not one person who has ever lived has ever had any real faith in the Jesus character because no one has ever done what he said a person with faith can easily do.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) = "So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."

Luke 17:6 (NKJV) = "So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you."

His apostles were standing right there with him and they never showed that they had faith.

@Diotrephes Didn't Jesus bring one of them out on water and he stood on water for a little while

@Lostpoet People walk on water all of the time. Even you have done it.
