There have been so many times where I have prayed for myself to learn and see God beyond what I am taught. Of course I have minor doubts about certain things in the bible and whatever (creation story is iffy), but I completely believe in God, Christ, and prayer, and the Bible where it doesn't contain illogical aspects. I just wish I can know for sure that God is there and not just associating coincidences as "proof" per se. I just don''t know.

thats why religion is also called your faith. the whole thing is just a belief you have in something that cant be proven.

Anyone can pray to nothing and talk or fool themsleves into believing you however are too honest for that. So,take the harsh realities of life and learn how deal with it in real terms .
All religions and philosophies and psychologies have their merits in the light of a real world of discernment .
drop the fetters of the false god and let your spirit soar for a change .

1St John says You can Know; Faith says what God says;It will be from His Written Word;
You can"t reason Your way to God;
God has spoken about the wisdom of Man;
God"s Anointing Power rest on His Written Word,
It takes two things to Activate,Your Faith and the Holy Spirit;---This Bible is sitting on table of most
Homes,Nothing causes it to come Alive until a Believing Mortal,ask Holy Spirit for Help and then
Read and Hear,and speak what God has already said,and watch as God moves in Your Life in a Way ,You didn"t think was possable';

God only allows so many people to have knowledge about Him...if you want proof of His existence, go to a hospital and talk to someone who has survived a crash or some other thing that has happened in their lives...i know for sure God is alive and well and watching over us because He has spared my life many times...He sends people to me that talk about things that they never knew about before and didn't know why they were talking to me about such topics...you have to keep your eyes and ears open to see God around you...and in case you think that's not possible, think about how you take your next breath or how you blink your eyes...

ask and it will be given
if you are honest and have an honest and sincere heart for him
he will know it and come in, get real with God tell him all you feel and think and ask him to come in and help you understand all that you do not and he will
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen

Read all of this:
What?! who told you can't know God. whoa whoa. You can DEFINITELY know God. This is what my pastor has been talking about lately. Ok. The Holy Spirit. God put the Holy Spirit IN US, so that we could spiritually discern the word of God so that when someone tells us something we can know if its actually true because of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And let me tell you something....you'll NEVER have that "proof," that man-made "proof." God is not going to stoop to our level to logically "prove" himself to us.
I know exactly what you r going through. Sometimes I pray to God and I'm like, "God, why can't I feel you and know you more?" "Why can't I have that undoubtful proof that you exist." But the Bible tells me in Hebrews 11:1: "Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, it is the EVIDENCE of things unseen." Faith is the proof that Jesus exists and I had to grasp the fact that that's not going to change. God wants us to BELIEVE in Him. He wants us to know in our hearts, (not with our eyes) that He exists. It might seem illogical, and yes, it is "illogical," but God needs us to trust Him and believe in Him. God is a spirit. Thats why He said in the bible, "I'm going to put my Spirit IN you."
You have to know that He exists. Any good in the world came from God. All the love that you see came from God. God is love. (1 John 4:6-8). He's here. He's right here, but you just have to stay strong in Him. Don't allow the devil to enter your thoughts about "what if God didnt exist" "what if heaven isn't real." Faith is your proof. And if you stay in His will, then you'll start to see the manifestations of His existence. In your home, in your family, in your relationships, in your marriage, on your job. God is there and He never fails. His love never fails. Stop looking for logic and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you. I'm telling you, the moment you completely give your thoughts and your will over to God, you'll see Him like you've never seen Him b4.
Don't give up on Him. Don't let the devil pull you away. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

(1 John 4:12) God is a spirit, we can't go by what we feel or don't feel ,we must just keep the faith and pray for one another.

you see him through loving deeds you are called to do or prayers answered or good things that happen to you.or others.God talks to your conscience from his,not the text of religions.his voice is the loving feelings you have to do good or the people he sends to you to help you on lifes journey

You DO know; you're just afraid to admit it. Tlhere is no god. That's why you're having such trouble "knowing" it--there's nothing there to know.
