Does God not seem real to you? Are you having a hard time leaning on Him when you cant trust a God you can't see or hear? If there was only a way to "prove" it to you... maybe you could believe...
People I had every doubt imaginable only a few years ago. All my doubts have been layed to rest...
He is real. He is alive. He does reveal himself to the ones who love Him.
You can get to know Him and build a relationship with Him by reading your bible and praying.
GOD WILL BE KNOWN if you TRUST HIM! He wants your trust and love! In Matt 10 Jesus said for you not to be afraid... he even knows the number of hairs on your head! He knows you and loves you... He wants you to know HIM and your bible is a very big key... the more you read the more He will reveal to you! You will be entered into the greatest love story ever told!
On my journey walking with Jesus I have found it can be really frustrating when I can not find enough quiet alone time with Him. Especially when it is a heartfelt desire
The longer I spend away from His presence, the farther I seem to feel like I am drifting away from Him. I sometimes have to make a sacrifice to spend time alone with Him.
Sometimes I stay up later, or get up earlier
Sometimes I turn off the radio in my car so I can talk to Him uninteruptedly with less distraction.
Sometimes I can go to my room and lock the door.
The most effective way I have found to reach a point of spending more "needed" time alone with Him is....
When I pray for it! God will answer this prayer and He will make a way for you to spend more time with Him!
If you find yourself drifting from the Lord just pray and he will draw you closer to Him.
Then Jesus told him "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
John 20:29

After I became a follower of Jesus, he became very real to me. When he appeared to the disciples he appeared as God in the form of man. Just as he was before he was crucified. The Son of Man came back not as a vapor, ghost, figment of the imagination... he came back as a human!
He is still God and he is still a man and he has risen and is very much alive! He loves us with a passionate holy love, he loved you enough to die for you so you wouldnt have to pay your own sin debt.
The ones who love Him and trust Him, He will reveal himself more and more.
Nothing could convince me that He doesnt exist...
He walks with me everyday
He is my future and my priceless present!
He is My life, He lives in ME!
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two
If He came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do
Oh, I know you'd give your nicest Room to such an honored Guest
And all the food you'd serve to Him would be the very best,
And you'd keep assuring Him you're glad to have Him there-
That serving Him in your home is joy beyond compare
But when you saw Him coming would you meet Him at the door
With arms outstretched in welcome to your Heavenly Visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in
Or hide some magazines and put the Bibles where they'd been?
Would you turn off the radio and hope He hadn't heard
And wish you hadn't uttered that last, loud, hasty word?
Would you hide your worldly music And put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about?
And I wonder - if the Saviour spent a day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing the things you always do?
Would you keep right on saying the things you always say?
Would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
Would your family conversation keep up it's usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace?
Would you sing the words you sing and read the books you read
And let Him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you'd planned to go?
Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet your very closest friends,
Or would you hope they'd stay away until His visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on,
Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know the things that you would do
If Jesus Christ in person came to spend some time with you.

I HAVE summoned you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned.... For I am the Lord your God
