For a lot of us is the question is does God exist? I've struggled so much over that question for a very long time. I don't want to be an atheist, yet I can't figure out how to fully understand how to believe in somebody who I can't see, feel, hear, etc. at least a very small amount.

How about this.
Atheist are the very basic level of human being as it is too low to accept. So let say, choose to believe in higher level, God.
Why you know which is good for you but still can not control yourself for doing bad things?
If you think you can do all the good things then it is still impossible your way of choosing "good
things"is honest enough. You can easily see ppl who say they are very good to other ppl but still very obvious they are very selfish. Because of the levels they belong (human being level). Then, here comes the understanding of hunger of your soul, praying/talking to God to keep you aware of your weakness that you can't be purely good to anybody without knowing some kind of higher level, with common sense.

Yes but some times not. I maintain closeness by following his commandments. Unfortunatley I am going far from him sometimes by not following his precious commandments. But Thanks to Jesus, by his love he is not forsaking me at any movement in my life. Therefore the closeness is being maintained by my saviour and me is only through His love which is eternal.

Yes, sometimes.
But it's not to say that He is far when we don't feel Him near. Feeling His closeness usually happens when I pray and worship. And anyway, God insructed us to pray continually. What matter really is that we know He is near whether or not we feel Him near. Obedience is also a requirement.

I feel close to God. I maintain it through prayer, going to church, worshipping Him, and reading the Bible.

I try to get outside at least once a day. Cut the grass. Clean out a flower bed.
If I can't do that I try to look out at the sky in the distance. It really calms me.
