Believing in a God you can't See

Is it possible to have faith in a God that you can't see? Absolutely!!! The first thing you have to realize is
God is Sovereign and has every right to keep things under a veil, hidden and unexposed. It's not because He doesn't love us
The Bible teaches us how important mankind is to God. There's two verses in Matthew 10 30 and 31
30 God even knows how many hairs are on your head.
31 So don't be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.
That is a pretty detailed account. I know some of you are thinking it would be so much better if we knew beforehand the grand scheme of things. But that's not the way faith works. God desires for us to live life and He will come alongside us to see us through to the end. He doesn't grab the reigns. He respects us and wants us to make steps towards a trusting relationship in Him. He gave us free will to make choices in life and honors that gift. This is what makes us so much different than all of creation. We were created in His Image. It's up to us whether to believe or disregard. To those who believe there are many promises we can rely on.
Psalm 34 is chalked full of God's goodness and provision. Believe and take God at His word. and come into His blessings. He is not one that changes like the shifting sand or wind. His promises are guaranteed and you can take them to the bank. Draw close to the Lord and He will draw close to you. How close? it doesn't say, which makes me think we can enter His courts and sit on His lap and call Him Abba which, in Hebrew, is an endearing word for Daddy. We just have to believe and have faith that He exists and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
I have never seen God but I have seen how He works in my life. It causes me to be grateful and yearn for Him all the more. All my cares start to fade away when I realize I have the Master of the Universe at my beckon call. He gives me His full and absolute attention. Not unlike humans who tend to drift here and there. I know I can be like the dog in the movie up sometimes with the squirrels. God listens attentively and we don't have to keep repeating our prayers as if He is deaf.
So, the next time you think that God doesn't exist, Look around and you will find Him everywhere. You just need to open up your eyes, your mind and also your heart to His reality. Don't be foolish and continually ask Him for a sign, Don't put Him to the test as if that would work anyways. But, know He will move mountains for His will to be accomplished in your life.
I am reminded of a famous quote of the 17th-century French philosopher and mathematician named Blaise Pascal. One of Pascal’s most famous works was the Pensées (“Thoughts”), which was published posthumously in 1670. It is in this work that we find what is known as Pascal’s Wager.
