There is absolutely zero evidence that god or any form of god exists or has ever existed. There is zero, none, nada evidence that anything supernatural has ever occured or will ever occur. There are no psychics. There are no ghosts. The living can talk to the dead but the dead can not talk back. (There are a bunch of con-artists, scammers, and just insane people that will try to convince you otherwise.)
The answer is that it is unlikely god exists based on the combined knowledge of every scientific discipline and every historical discipline. This does not mean god does not exist but being the humans we are we can put two and two together and come up with the seemingly obvious conclusion that god is not real. God is a myth. He is a superhero brought about in the minds of humans and is purely imaginary.
My mind can be changed. All I need is just something called evidence. Even just a little bit. Even something just a bit supernatural. I doubt, based on my understanding of reality, that it will ever happen.
Please don't feel bad, however. Many people who struggle with the inconsistencies and logical fallacies preached by the religious community have real problems finding meaning to their lives. Life without believing in mythical fairytales can be extremely fulfilling, very satisfying, and very, very good. Once you free yourself from being afraid of ghosties and goblins, you are able to enjoy the gifts we truly have and recognize life and the universe for what is it and not what we want it to be.
I would like to recommend that you spend some time in the online discussion forums at the James Randi Educational Foundation. This is a group of people called "skeptics" that hold foundations based on reality and do not accept fairytales and stories unless there is some evidence to back that up. The foundation is a truly fine organization that you can read about in the forums as well. There are discussions on religion and philosophy that may help you understand your own questions and your own life better. These are good people. Please read the info and even join in and ask questions at http://forums.randi.org/forumindex.php
Sometimes we feel sad. If you are disappointed with your life you can change that. You have the power and ability. You do not need some religious person to tell you fairytales that sound wonderful, everything you want to hear, but do absolutely nothing for you. Keep searching. Get involved in the forum. You will find your way in truth, honesty, and the real world. It's a great place!

Yes, God exists. If you open your heart and let Him in, He will comfort you. You can find joy even during times of pain through God. He never lets you experience more suffering than you can bear.
I'm so sorry that your life path has been sad. Know that there is a God, that He loves you, and that He wants to help you. You can turn all your burdens over to Him. Peace to you...

Yes.
You can't KNOW - as in PROVE - there is a God, it takes faith. And faith is believing in something you can't see.
Your life path will improve when you stop trying to make it better and let God take care of it.
Consider this: at the end of the road if your life is still sad after trusting God, you can blame Him for not keeping His promises. My faith says you can trust Him to keep the promises however.
This isn't some lightweight acknowledgement, but a full commitment - hook, line and sinker. Odds are you will be tempted to straddle the fence on this issue - that won't work.
Here is a good story to explain my point: imagine you are hanging over a cliff with certain death if you lose your grip! Jesus hovers near you and you cry out, "Save me". He says, "I will, but you have to let go first."
Trust.

Are you kidding me?!!!
Of Coarse there is a GOD!
If you will only give your life and heart to Jesus, it WILL get better. You may still be in pain, but you won't suffer alone. HE will always be with you and will never forsake you.
