God is not a creature first of all...He is the Creator.
And you will believe anything you have the desire to believe...

You have a hard time believing in such because you have critical thinking skills. This means that you are smart and want to believe in things that are real. There is no evidence for the existence of a Christian (or any other for that matter) God.

No one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but God alone.
God alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe. He manages all affairs. He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing. In a perfect manner, His knowledge encompasses all things, the open and the secret, and the public and the private. He knows what has happened, what will happen, and how it will happen. No affair occurs in the whole world except by His will. Whatever He wills is, and whatever He does not will is not and will never be. His will is above the will of all the creatures. He has power over all things, and He is able to do everything. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and the Most Beneficent. In one of the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad , we are told that God is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child.1 God is far removed from injustice and tyranny. He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees. If someone wants something from God, he or she can ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God for him or her.
God is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God.2 Even Jesus himself rejected this. God has said in the Quran:
Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said, “God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary.” The Messiah said, “Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates partners in worship with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell). For the wrongdoers,3 there will be no helpers.” (Quran, 5:72)
God is not a trinity. God has said in the Quran:
Indeed, they disbelieve who say, “God is the third of three (in a trinity),” when there is no god but one God. If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger... (Quran, 5:73-75)
Islam rejects that God rested on the seventh day of the creation, that He wrestled with one of His angels, that He is an envious plotter against mankind, or that He is incarnate in any human being. Islam also rejects the attribution of any human form to God. All of these are considered blasphemous. God is the Exalted. He is far removed from every imperfection. He never becomes weary. He does not become drowsy nor does he sleep.
The Arabic word Allah means God (the one and only true God who created the whole universe). This word Allah is a name for God, which is used by Arabic speakers, both Arab Muslims and Arab Christians. This word cannot be used to designate anything other than the one true God. The Arabic word Allah occurs in the Quran about 2700 times. In Aramaic, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke,4 God is also referred to as Allah.

R C Sproul has written a ton of books on this very topic. About the Self-existence of God.
it is hard for you to understand because our minds are finite, we have trouble grasping an infinite God who existed before the world began and lives forever - and knows everything.
Keep reading the Bible, you'll see that it fits together, it takes a little time - Ask God He'll tell you - He created the World, He knows the answers to all your questions. He created a void in your heart that only He can fill.

God is not a creature but He is the Creator of heaven and earth. I think it would be very hard for you to believe in God if you were still a child and your parents haven't teach or tell you about Him.

God is not a creature. He is not a created being. God creates creation. God is an eternal Spirit. 1Tim 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever.

Who told you God was a creature? He is CREATOR, we are the creatures! No comparison! He is God and we are not. Period. He WAS, and IS, and IS TO COME. We are humans who live on a speck on a speck in a bubble called time. Our brains cannot comprehend anything as indescribable as God nor can we comprehend eternity. Faith is believing, not seeing.
GOD IS LOVE AND HE LOVES YOU!

Think in this way.
How big is the universe ?Were does it end or start?
How did it get here?
Ask yours self. Who am I? How did I become? Is what I feel and see real or does my mind just make it all up?
I know it can make stuff up
So how do I know any thing around me is real?
I think so there for I be.
I know I start some where and at some point.
So how did I become ME?

Science proves the universe could not have always been here. There was a beginning. What else could have been at the beginning but God?
