Everyone has hard times in their lives,and many choose to blame God for this. I ,too have questioned God many times as to why this or that is happening to me and to my loved ones.For instance,recently my Mother was diagnosed with Chronic Heart Failure,and she had to have a catheter inserted into her heart to see just how bad her condition was.After the surgery,she went into cardiac arrest,and we almost lost her,not due to the surgery,but because of the weakened condition of her heart.The doctors later told us that if she hadn't been scheduled for surgery at that specific time,she would have gone into cardiac arrest at home,and would have died.God knew this,and in His infinite wisdom,made sure everything was timed just right to save her life.She had to then undergo another surgery to have a defibrillator placed inside her.Two months to the day,she was sent back to the hospital to have her defibrillator fixed,because for whatever reason,it wasn't working right.We asked God why she should have to go through this again,but we soon found His answer.While she was in the hospital this time,the docs discovered that she had liver cancer.If her defib hadn't malfunctioned,the cancer wouldn't have been found until it was too late.She is now undergoing chemo treatments,and it seems that the cancer is under control.This is her 3rd bout with cancer since 1990,and God had brought her through every time.My Mom is a devout Christian,and God never promised her,or any of us an easy life,but He has promised to be with us every step of the way,and when I look at my Mom,I see a living,breathing,walking miracle from God,just as I see God every time I look at the beautiful faces of my children,for they are a miracle directly from God himself,and I see God in all the simple pleasures in life.I don't ask God "why" anymore. I just thank Him for getting us through life's experiences,and for ALWAYS being there when we need Him.

For me, feeling God is not an electric feeling or fireworks - I feel God when I feel completely at peace.
"Be still and know that I am God" This phrase has helped me to find God when my faith is being tested the most. It helps me to accept that what will be will be, and some things are out of my hands. It also reminds me that despite all the terrible times I have had in the past, I am still here and I am happy that I am. So no matter what is happening now, I will get through it and come out better because of it. I have faith in that.

None has seen God and none has experinced 'God .that you speak about. For those who see God can do so only afer death and they won't be there to tellyou about what hthey saw . thiose who talk about god ar not yet dead and had tthere fore not seen god .
mans imaginationcansee thngs that do not exist and his eyes do nt even see whtr is in froint of him.
all that people say about god is what tey say think it is . Each one has his own version of God .each one say that except through him , no one can approach god . they have taken the whiolesale dealership form god to deal with the hunmans he had created . While crating the hmans god has not tqken thepermission of te whole sale agents . Now after the creation of the humans , the agents have ltaken and wreched the dealership from the poor God by force .
In thename of god they ar denigrating the supreme natural being tha makes ansd sustins all the lives in the universe .
You can see God . you do not require any intervntion of any agent . If giod is that that created you , it is your mom.
billions of people have lived wihtout believing in any one of the many dozens of gods . But none has lived without air even for a few minutes . Even the Great Agents of the Gods were not able to live withiout the air . They were breathing and eating.

At my dad's funeral.. inside the church, the was a skylight.. my dad's casket was resting there, beneath the light.. I had seen a huge pair of translucent hands come down and scoop around the casket, then slowly, gently, move upward.. I remember turning to look at my mom.. I asked quietly.. did you see? She nodded, so I asked what she had seen.. it was the very same thing.
I have seen God in a great many ways.. but the truth is, I have always known God exists.. and even without seeing, or feeling.. I would follow my Lord..
Please, read the book 'beauty for ashes' by Joyce Meyer - http://www.joycemeyer.org - you can find it in book stores, or ask them to order you a copy.
My life experiences are still painful, even after all these years.. you need to let go..

Watch the sun rise and set, you are experiencing God in action.
Watch the flowers bloom, God is there too.
Hear the leaves on the trees make a rustling sound in the breeze. That's God doing it.
Look into the eyes of your father, mother, brother, sister, wife, children, friends, neighbours, the people in the neighbourhood, the ones you meet every day, the dogs and cats in the street, the crows and other birds chirping away, you are looking into the eyes of God. You are experiencing God every single day of your life. God is with you every minute you are alive. God is talking to you, loving you, taking care of you, and making you feel good through His numerous creations, your close relatives whom you meet and interact with every day, your office colleagues, your neighbours, the people you meet on the way to work and back, and so on.
If you expect to see and experience God in any other form or manner, it is never going to happen.

I too felt the way you feel or should I say worst,about God and His existance since I was just 12 years old. There was a time when I believed that God was a creation of man's mind and imagination, created by man with a sole intention of exploiting another human being. I held on to this false conviction until I experienced God's love in the person of JESUS CHRIST. My testimony is that God In His infinite love, compassion and mercy revealed Himself to me in the Person of Jesus Christ. My search for God lasted for 26 long years, but I finally found Him in the person of Jesus Chirst. When I met Jesus I asked Him a very simple question. JESUS are You real? If your are, I want to know You and accept you as my personal God. And JESUS reveal HIMSELF to me thru the HOLY BIBLE. I have surrendered my life to JESUS, accepted HIM as my Lord and Master and I can say this with confidence. My life is just not the same as it was before. I would not trade my present life and the joy poeace and happiness that I experence today for anything in this world. I would like to end my message by quoting a scripture passage from the HOLY BIBLE, ""For I know the plan I have for you", declares the Lord, "plan to prosper you and not to harm you, plan to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD." [Jeremiah 29:11-14a]

I am sorry about your life experiences, but, don't ever give up, because when you do, your licked, put all the bad things you experienced behind you, I know that sounds easier said than done, and keep a positive image about your life. I don't think that prayer goes unanswered, give it another try, maybe your prayers won't be answered to your liking, but you will find that it is the best for you.
Keep a joyful heart! and surround yourself with positive people.

I have felt God's hand in my life even before I accepted Him. I felt Him as a 3 year old child in the hospital for a year because of a kidney disfunction. I was dying. I had a horseshoe kidney which means they were connected at the bottom. my left side refused to work properly and I underwent surgury after surgury, test after test, needle after needle. God was present and I recognized it though I didn't understand it. I believe that when you open your heart and accept as a child would the love of Christ.("come to me as a little child") the Lord says.. you will begin to witness His presence in every aspect of your life. Sounds like you have so much hurt and pain that it has been incredibly hard to open it up for even God to come in. I will have you in my prayers and ask Jesus to reveal Himself in love to you. You will recognize it in kindness that come to you when you don't deserve it. An unexplained peace that fills you when you need it most.
Be at peace, look for Him not with your eyes, but with your heart.

Perhaps if your life experiences are not positive, it could be considered the seeds sown (by you) to produce this result? Why blame or otherwise dismiss God because of your inability to be positive in your experiences?
God stands by even when you make that free will choice to be negative. He doesn't disappear beause He has to take the blame the individual is busy giving out, instead of looking within.
