My Faith is everything to me; I grew up in a Buddhist household, went to a catholic school as a child, and separated myself and God until my dad passed away recently. I hated God, but he did not give up on me. I asked if he existed then I would give him my all. I said angrily, "If you really exit God let me open the bible, Whichever page I land on show me that you are real. If not you are just an unfair God. CAN U HEAR ME" I cried out. 

I never touched the bible my teacher gave me since I was 12. The dust covered the gospel blown away without a sweep. I opened the pages with my swollen eyes closed. Where I thought the pages had stopped. it flipped a few pages over to (James 4:8)
" Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world"

This told me God is near, he is silent not if we seek him. It is a two-way street.
