1) Start by thinking Who put your soul in your body. Your parents contributed physical material, but the soul comes from Above.
2) Think about the miracles in your body. You have tens of trillions of cells, each of which is much more complex than all the workings of your house with all its wiring and Plumbing. Within your cells, foods are transformed into poisons - and back - in a thousandth of a second by intricate enzyme-catalyzed processes.
3) Think about why water is the only material that expands as it freezes; why snow is white; why the Earth is at its precise distance from the sun.
4) Think about why love exists. Animals don't "love" in the manner that humans do.
This is just a start.
Answer:
I am not "improving" this answer, because I got a lot of wonderful spiritual tools in reading it! However, I want to add that although I am not a priest, chaplain, or part of the spiritually educated world, I have had this question myself, and at the time, I felt SO ALONE. I felt like I was "letting God down" because I know He has done SO many wonderful things for me- but sometimes I don't really "feel" him and therefore, I doubt His presence.
Maybe you know about the "FOOTSTEPS" poem.
If you do not, Google it under "FOOTSTEPS, GOD" and you will find your answer.
The summary of the poem is this:
Just when we think God is not there, and we cannot see TWO sets of "footprints," (thinking we are ALONE in our walk).. it is because HE IS CARRYING US, and those are HIS FOOTPRINTS.
You are not alone in your struggle, as most of us if we are being honest with our true faith- we have doubts at times- and during those times, we are tested.
FAITH is one of the answers- and the definition I like best of "faith" is "Holding on to nothing until it turns into something."
God Bless You for putting this very good question out there, as I believe GOD put it in your heart, to let those who are struggling get their answer- one they may not even have been looking for!
Wonder and awe in God's presence means basically to be gobsmacked and absolutely mute in the presence of sheer awesomeness and to feel peace and ultimately at one with yourself and to stand in absolute admiration and fascination and be totally focused on thatWonder and Awe in God's Presence means that you need to appreciate what God has done for us in our life's and what he made around us.

None life is useless you should just kill yourself now. You just have a life of dissapointment ahead of you.
The nature of divine presence in life and death is the religious theme in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the gods have oracles to tell mortals how to lead their lives. They have the Furies of fate to make sure that how the gods expect mortal lives to be led indeed is carried out. It is an all-encompassing presence since that gods leave no disobedience, disrespect, infraction or questioning unpunished.
By giving yourself to a life of prayer, fellowship within the church and loving service of others your knowledge of god will deepen. He will reveal all he wants to you over the course of your life.
