God is a spirit-not an emotion. Therefore, How we think feel God is irrelevant. Experience has nothing to do with Truth-which God as a Holy Creator is. The way we know God is all powerful is when God allows us to to know. Even our reality and the way we percieve things is under the control of God.

One can experience God with a simple meditation.
Draw a dot on a piece of paper. Sit back and focus your eyes on the dot. Don't strain, just blink naturally. After a while you will see an energy field around everything.
This is the Light and the Power of God that is in all things.
Science can explain the energy fields. But can they explain the fact we can see them? Other than to delude THEMselves into thinking we are deluding
OURselves?

Experiencing His creation... seeing an airplane that took many men many years to build out of many parts specifically designed for that purpose...... then seeing a blackbird do the exact same thing, but with more grace, maneuverability, and ease.
How God has influenced my decisions to go to school in southern CA, where I've met the girl of my dreams, who has blessed me in so many ways.
How her brother had a lung disease, was given six months to live..... 4 years ago. He's out of the hospital, living a normal life, baffling doctors... all behind mountains and mountains of prayer...
And many more...

You are right, God is all around us and lives in all things. He made the world and has allowed us to create things from it. Once you ask him to be in your life I've found you see his will a bit more clearly. He gave us free will and we have a choice to do good or evil. His will in in all~ Everthing happens for a reason. I know this from everyday life and actions. God bless all

I was lost, on drugs etc. could not hold down a job, very messed up on the inside. I always felt like I needed something but didn't know what, tried to fill that void with drugs, relationships etc.
Then one night after all had failed I cried out to God for forgiveness for making such a mess of my life. Throughout that next week strange things started happening to me. I was changing, but I wasn't trying to change God was changing me from the inside out, I couldn't believe it. But he proved himself to be real to me. My attitudes, likes and dislikes changed and I had NOTHING TO do with it, HE DID IT.

God Is. And God lets us choose to love & obey Him or not. But we will reap the conscequences of wrong choices.
God doesn't control our choices.

What does it mean to "believe in G-d?"
What is a belief? A belief is an idea that we hold to be true at all times -- something that we know or feel to be true. Yet, we also know that people hold different beliefs and, if beliefs represent what is true, does that mean there are different truths as well?
The answer is, "Yes and no."
There are two basic types of truths in the world. There's the truth as we know it, the relative or internal truth, as represented by spelling truth with a small "t," and there is the absolute or external Truth, as represented by spelling truth with a capital T. Both the theologian and the scientist believe in the existence of an external and absolute truth.
For the theologian, the external truth is discovered through experiencing G-d. For the scientist, external truth is discovered through scientific inquiry.
When people talk about their own beliefs, they're talking about how their relative or internal truth is consistent with and aligns with the external or absolute Truth. Some people believe that instead of an absolute truth, each of us have different truths or realities. However, if everyone had a completely different reality, then how would we be able to interact or communicate? Which is why, at the very least, if we do have individual realities, then they would have to share certain things in common.
For most people, what their individual truths or realities have in common is an awareness of an external reality. It is that sense of an external reality and our desire to understand it, to connect with it, that describes our spiritual nature.
What characterizes our walk with G-d, our understanding of the written Truth, is how closely our truth, small t, aligns with capital T -- the Truth of G-d. For those who beleive in G-d, there is no question in that G-d's Truth is the ultimate Truth. Where there is variance among people, it is in the truth as they know it -- not in the absolute Truth. The reason scientists discard theories is because they no longer describe reality, the absolute Truth, and not that scientists are reconstructing their own reality.
If a belief does not correspond to what is really true, absolute Truth, then, by definition, that belief is erroneous irrespective of whatever positive benefit that belief may have.
No one on this planet knows the absolute Truth. Most of us have enough trouble understanding our own individual reality. Some know it better than others, but no one ever experiences the absolute Truth directly. Our physical nature precludes that from happening -- both from a scientific perspective (the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle) and from a theologic perspective (the mystery of G-d).
However, there are people who know virtually nothing about absolute Truth, either scientific or theologic.
For me, my walk with G-d has always been a search for the Truth. For me, and for others, G-d's Truth can be found in many different places and in different ways. There are no limits to where you can find evidence of the Truth -- it exists all around us. Since the Truth of G-d can be found in so many different ways and so many different places, there isn't a single "box" in which you could put all of them. I am always wary of any person who says "Here's all you need to do and all you need to know about G-d's Truth." I believe that no single individual has a corner on the Truth.
What is possible and more logical for me is to take the approach that wherever G-d reveals His Truth to me, in whatever fashion and whatever manner, I will attend to it. Regardless of how G-d's Truth is revealed to me, in whatever shape or form, I will believe in it -- if it is really from G-d. However, the only way I will know for sure if it is from G-d, is by testing it against what I know about G-d, about my own relative truth, and about how others define truth -- both relatively and in the absolute.
How do I know what is G-d's Truth? There are three ways I test it. One is to look at the fruit that it bears. What is the result of following that truth? The second is whether it is consistent with what I know to be the Word of G-d. The Truth of G-d can't go against what G-d has said and, as a Jew, I do believe that the Torah is the Word of G-d. I also believe that the Torah is not all that G-d has to say for G-d continues to speak to me in many other ways.
When G-d does speak to me, when He reveals his Truth to me or to anyone else, I have to ask myself, "Is this consistent with the G-d that I know from the Torah?"
The third test is what I feel in my heart. It is the intangible truth that comes from discernment of the spirit. In actuality, it's the one test that often has the most validity (or often, the only validity that we can test by ourselves). Just as we cannot tell what fruit a tree will bear until it is mature, it may be too early to know what fruit the truth will bear.
Secondly, we may get a glimpse of G-d's Truth that doesn't seem to have a direct parallel to something we've read in Scripture. What we witness may not necessarily coincide with anything we know from Scripture and it even may seem contradictory. Just as in a courtroom trial where the evidence is not all in, we often have to suspend judgement until we know more about it.
This is where the third test comes into play: a test of whether we know from our spiritual knowledge of G-d if what we experience does in fact come from G-d. That knowledge, like knowing something about another person with whom you have a relationship, comes only with time and the experience of living with that individual. Knowing what comes from G-d takes time as well and also comes from having a relationship with G-d.
When I find a bit of G-d's Truth revealed to me, I follow up on it by asking, "Why is this true? What does this mean to me? If it's true for me, why wouldn't it be true for the person next to me?" If I see that G-d has revealed His Truth to the person next to me, I then might ask, "Why can't G-d do that for me? What do I have to do to receive G-d's Truth?" What I've learned is that it's not about being Christian or Jewish or Buddhist or Muslim or about being part of any religion as a prerequisite.
What it is about is being able to ask these questions of G-d directly through prayer and indirectly through the study of G-d's Word and an understanding of G-d's work around us.
