Is God Even Real?!

I used to ask myself that all the time.

Not out loud. Not always directly.

But quietly—between heartbreaks and disappointments.

In the silence between prayers and answers.

In the ache of “Why me?” and “What now?”

I wanted signs. Proof. A reason to believe in something I couldn’t see.

But that’s the thing about God—

He doesn’t show up the way we expect.

He shows up in ways that make sense later.

I felt Him in the no’s that led to better yeses.

In the people who left.

In the things that didn’t work out—because He was protecting me.

I felt Him in the nights I cried myself to sleep,

and still woke up with the strength to try again.

I didn’t see Him.

I didn’t hear a voice.

But I kept seeing patterns.

Moments that weren’t luck.

Delays that were divine.

Softness that found me at just the right time.

So is God even real?

All I can say is:

I’ve felt too held to believe it was random.

I’ve been too protected to call it chance.

And even in the silence, I’ve always felt seen.

That’s more real to me than anything else.
