I concede that believers believe in god, which is fine and dandy, but its impossible as a human to not, even for a fraction of a second, entertain the question of where did your god come from.
Now most theists respond with something like, "god is eternal", or "god is everything" which sounds great until you get really honest with yourselves and ask, "is this REALLY a satisfying answer?"
I'm not saying you don't believe it, or that your faith isn't strong, but does it FEEL comfortable? Isn't there a nagging part of you that wants to know how or why your god came about? Or, can you simply squash this question with, "god has always existed" every time you feel it rise, and not feel cheated?
Also, do you think your god is sentient, and if so, wouldn't a god which purposely created other sentient beings also have the capacity to question it's own existence, it's purpose, and perhaps even it's own demise?
Does your god wonder how it came to be, or if it could end itself if it wanted?
