Doubt in God's existence
Despite the fact that I love the things of God, most times I feel God does not exist because of circumstances and situations around me.
What could be the reason I am not having a full blown up conviction about the existence of God? Anyone else felt the same way? How did you overcome it? Please help with answers

Thank you Saviour for the question. As I mentioned in the comment section earlier, you are not alone in having doubts. Many before you and many today have their doubts, even John the baptist, the one Jesus described as greater than all, had doubts from a prison cell and sent his disciples to ask Jesus if He is truly the Messiah. Note Jesus described him as the greatest after his doubts crept in. So don’t be too hard on yourself.
Now here’s the thing, when we look at our circumstances to validate God’s existence and love for us we will constantly doubt God’s existence, especially since God uses our trials to build our faith and reveal His glory.
1 Peter 1:7
These trials have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.Each time you go through trials, you have to draw from the faith you
have gained from previous trials and draw closer to God. When John the baptist asked Jesus if He was truly the Messiah, Jesus patiently answered Him — He will show up for you.God only wants good things for His children. He created us to share in His most beautiful creation and be caretakers of it. That’s how special we are to Him. The devil derailed that when he successfully tempted us, He did it again to Job… but he failed to tempt Jesus who has now reconciled us back to the Father. You are very precious to God. The devil still uses many men and throws many darts to make our lives difficult. Trust that God will only allow the ones we can bear and will always come through for His children.
Draw closer to God, read the bible, pray in the spirit more, and seek God earnestly in truth and in Spirit, He will show up even if it is to send a good Samaritan your way.
