As in Matthew 7:7   Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” although I minister in interfaith  Jesus also mentions about how he lives within all of us.  

As in the beginning when the solar system was created in dark matter.   We are created in the image of to better understand ourselves.  Your soul journey the date and time life  breathed into your physical part while understand that we animate the physical.  Faith and belief is a choice.  Suggestion : Order a life path report.  It helps you learn more about You. Educate and seek spiritual advisors to help you connect to the spirit.   Talking about it helps.

Since no one can prove that there is a higher power (meaning we cannot observe "God" with our senses), the decision to believe is a choice you make.  When something can't be proven true, you get to choose what belief system works best for you.  Some questions to reflect on might be:

1.)  What does "God" even mean?  What are the experiences that have shaped your perception of "God?"  Are there any other ways to think of it?

2.) What turns you on or off to the idea of God?  And remember that there is a difference between religion and spirituality.  You do not have to be religious to believe in God.

3.) How might your life look if you truly believed there was a higher power/God?  How might that be beneficial?  Why wouldn't you believe (what is there to lose)?

4.) How might your life look if you chose not to believe in any higher power?  Is there anything you might lose?  What would you gain?

5.) How do you cope with things that are outside of your control and don't make sense?  How do you cope with the idea of death and tragedy?

If you decide that you would like to cultivate a belief in God, then there are ways you can strengthen this belief (some doubt and questioning is always normal).  Something you could do to strengthen your belief is to look for ways that it fits into your life.  Look for things that have happened in your life that show you there is something/someone out there looking out for you.  

Another way to think about God is to think about love.  Not in the emotional sense of the word, but in terms of good versus evil, light versus dark, love versus hate.  There are some things out there that are clearly evil acts (Christians refer to this as the enemy and sin), but many times something good can be found amidst the bad.  As Fred Rogers once said, whenever you see something terrible that happened on the news, "Look for the helpers.  You will always find people who are helping."  And as one of my favorite verses from the Bible goes, "Light always overcomes darkness."

Remember the answers you're looking for come from within.  Just look for the answers you hope to find and they will come to you.

There are an infinite number of ways to look at this. Spirituality, religion, God, higher power, and many other parts of this discussion mean different things to different people. My question for you is what does "real" actually mean to you? Often, the concept of God has to do with what you believe in. If you ask 1000 different people, you'll probably get almost that many different answers.

Consider talking with friends or family about this. I would suggest, though, that you have the discussion initially with people who you trust and who you feel are willing to listen to your questions and beliefs and perhaps offer an opinion without trying to make you believe as they do. You may also consider speaking with a pastor or another religious figure. The local Salvation Army may have a link to a religious or spiritual person that leads nondenominational church services. There may be able to help you to sort through this if your friends and family do not provide a comfortable environment for you related to this discussion.

Just a word of caution. In my experience, ideas of religion and spirituality can be lead to very deep discussions with some people who are very strongly connected to what they believe. Some people do not easily separate their own beliefs from those of others. When initiating conversations about this, try first asking whether someone would be comfortable discussing religion or spirituality. A second question may be whether it is okay with this person you are talking to if you have different beliefs or opinions.

As far as whether God is real or not, consider trusting yourself and what you learn, feel, and believe as you work through this process.

There is no limit to the amount of perspectives one may take on this topic. Many aspects of this conversation, including spirituality, religion, God, or a higher force, as well as many others, each have distinct connotations for certain individuals. What I want to know is, in your opinion, the true meaning of the word "real." The notion of God is often intertwined with the things in which one believes. If you ask one thousand different individuals, you will most likely receive nearly as many different replies as there are people.

It is great you are thinking and challenging your beliefs to see what serves you and what does not serve you! I found this video to be helpful https://youtu.be/h6fcK_fRYaI  

The Egg - A Short Story

The way that I see it is that Humans have always been afraid of life and death, historically we have always tried to understand life, we try to organize it, categorize it, explore it, and we've built up this system, our system and societies system around us to help us define what life and (death) is, this system or way is not real but only a perception of our own value judgements, it is, no matter how you try to argue it, a false system of conditioning, humans have a finite mind and a finite mind cannot ever hope to understand an infinite mind of which a god would be. God has been developed over time as a security blanket for our child-like selves, the world is a beautifully brutal place and what is more reassuring than a master that will take care of us and show us the way. On Earth alone there are thousands of gods and even many more systems of thought, economics, societal structures and so on, it is almost as though it were a supermarket with so many choices, we have more choices in gods than we do flavors of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins, so then I ask you, "which one is real?, and "what is real?"

  It is not a stupid question, it is very basic. To help answer your question, let me begin with the premise that you will never have absolute proof. With that being said, one can look at different phenomena in nature and history and figure what is the statistical probability that they happened randomly. If one comes to the logical conclusion that many are quite improbable, then there must be a guiding force and plan.

  May you be successful in your journey.

Your question is actually thoughtful and reflects a true interest to know more about life.

No one knows if god is a lie because "god" is a concept in which people either make up their own definition of this concept, or believe one of the concepts of what god is, handed down by religions.

All the religions exclude the other god concepts, and expect loyalty to believing in their particular version of "god".

Probably god is real in the sense that most people want to believe there is guided purpose to what goes on in life.

This is as definite as what we can know about "god".

"God" is not a lie because it is not a fact.  Beliefs aren't provable. 

Believing in God is a matter of faith.  There are many opinions out there for and against God’s existence.  But the real question is not if God is real or not, but, do you want to have faith and decide that he exists?  This is a personal choice.  Reading scripture may help to learn more about those who struggle with believing, but again, you decide if you believe that scripture is true or not.   Praying and asking for a revelation or a confirmation may help as well, but again it is another act of faith.

Estoy teniendo dificultad con la idea de: ¿Dios es real o no?

Tal vez es una pregunta estúpida, pero algunas veces no sé que es real o no.  Siento que todo el mundo miente. ¿Cómo se si Dios es una de esas mentiras?

Creer en Dios es una cuestión de fe.  Hay muchas opiniones en favor y en contra de la existencia de Dios.  Pero la verdadera pregunta no es si Dios existe, pero si tu quieres creer que existe.  Esto es una decisión muy individual.  Leer la Biblia te puede ayudar a conocer sobre algunas personas que han dudado, pero de nuevo, tu decides si las escrituras son reales para ti. Orar y pedir una revelación o confirmación es otro acto de fe, que te puede ayudar.
