So I got in trouble

[Drich]

You have to make two foregone conclusions before a/s/k can work, according to your own words.
1. God exists
2. If you approach him the right way, he will prove his existence to you

At this point we are not talking about A/S/K We are talking about asking God to give you another mustard seed.

If you a/s/k and you don't have at least the faith of a mustard seed, again according to you, you'll get only silence.

So again ask for one. (God give me the mustard seed I need to properly A/S/K)

This does not take faith in God. Just enough humility to sit in silence away from everyone and read that little prayer i just left for you. and keep asking till you get it.

The fact that a/s/k can only work if you start out having faith makes it impossible for a/s/k to provide a legitimate means for someone without faith to acquire it. It only works if you've already decided it will. It is a deliberately-designed example of confirmation bias.

ah, no.
One does not need a forgone conclusion to A/S/K. Just humility.
