For some people it would take a while to feel His presence. You have to actually talk to Him-pray to Him. Go to church. Even though you don't feel Him, God is there. He's always been there. He made you so of course He believes in you and loves you. If you speak to a pastor he will help you with this. But on Sunday go to your local church. Hoped that this helped. (P.S. I'm praying for you!)
Hai! Jesus is the only way to reach God . God loves the world that is why He sent His only begotten son' Jesus' to be a living sacrifice that means Jesus was punished for your sins.Now if you believe this accept that you are a sinner, ;confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from death o and ask Him to forgive all your sins(when u ask this picturise in your mind the beatings Jesus endured for u)If u do this prayer with all your heart then Jesus purifies you by His blood and u will be saved and then from that day ,you become the adopted child of Jesus and He sent holy spirit on and u can experience in your life and u become righteous not because of your own effort but due to the work of Jesus on Calvary .Then on when Almighty God sees u, u will be without any sin because Jesus washed away your sins by His blood.And then on pray read bible and try to talk with God everyday.JESUS is the living God he talks to u, guides u and knows u even before u born. Therefore my child do not worry of the fact that God doesn't loves u.It is only because He loves that u have a heart to love him.I like to tell u more about Jesus if u like this
To illustrate: A loving mother is especially watchful of her little children, since the younger the child, the more he needs his parent’s attention. Similarly, God especially watches over us when we are lowly and vulnerable. “I reside in the high and holy place,” Jehovah says, “but also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of those being crushed.”—Isaiah 57:15.
Nevertheless, you may wonder: ‘How does God watch me? Does he judge me by my appearance, or does he look beneath the surface and really understand who I am?’
“O Jehovah, you have searched through me, and you know me.”—PSALM 139:1.
“Your eyes even saw me as an embryo.”—PSALM 139:16
WHY SOME HAVE DOUBTS: Many people feel that God sees humans only as sinners—unclean and unworthy of his attention. Kendra, who suffered from depression, felt guilt-ridden because she could not measure up perfectly to God’s requirements. As a result, she said, “I stopped praying.”
WHAT GOD’S WORD TEACHES: Jehovah looks beneath your imperfections and understands who you really are. “He well knows how we are formed,” says the Bible, “remembering that we are dust.” What is more, he does not deal with us “according to our sins,” but he mercifully forgives us when we repent.—Psalm 103:10, 14.
Consider David, the Israelite king. In prayer to God, David said: “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; all its parts were written in your book . . . Search through me, O God, and know my heart.” (Psalm 139:16, 23) Yes, David was convinced that even though he sinned—gravely at times—Jehovah could discern his repentant heart.
Jehovah understands you better than any human does. “Mere man sees what appears to the eyes,” the Bible says, “but Jehovah sees into the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) God knows what makes you tick—how heredity, the way you grew up, your environment, and your personality all shape the person you are. He sees and values the person you strive to be, even though you make mistakes.
Don't be discouraged! Jesus would love you even if you didn't believe in Him at all! He died for us while we were still sinners which means that he loves unconditionally. Baptism is a great next step and an experience you would not want to miss, but Jesus loves you no matter what. You should get connected to a good church to help you connect to and learn more about God. It might take a while to physically feel His presence. Just keep it up and don't worry. If you go to a worship service, that is the easiest place to feel God (at least for me), but you have to "press in" (as they say) Ask God to help you, too. Don't worry- you don't have to know fancy prayers just talk to him like He is right there (which, technically, He is.)
According to the Bible, it is possible to have a close personal relationship with God. The Bible states that God called the Hebrew patriarch Abraham “my friend.” (Isaiah 41:8) Note, too, the warm invitation recorded at James 4:8: “Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.” Thus, it is clear that a close relationship—a friendship—with God is possible.

Pray violently seek God
And he will find you
I pray for you
Don't give up
John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

I am happy to hear you are striving to find a religion. Do not feel you do not have God's favor if you do not have a religion now. It is important you find the true religion if not the false ones will confuse you..
Definition: A form of worship. It includes a system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices; these may be personal, or they may be advocated by an organization. Usually religion involves belief in God or in a number of gods; or it treats humans, objects, desires, or forces as objects of worship. Much religion is based on human study of nature; there is also revealed religion. There is true religion and false.
Baptism is not a status but a serous vow or dedication to God and living according to the principles and laws set out in the bible. To be a truly baptized person you must understand Jesus's teachings because he sets the standard for what it means to be baptized and the work that is required for such ones.
For more information on this subject and others, please go to jw.org. Also for free downloads, publications or read online. Read the book "What Does The Bible Really Teach" You will be on your way to finding the true religion.
God and Jesus loves us, even when we are not deserving of their love. Please know baptism is not something we do because others are doing it. Even though baptism is a privilege it’s also a serious responsibility. You see baptism is not one time save always save. When we get baptized we promised God to do his will and to walk as closely as we could in his son Jesus footsteps. Is it easy to do so?Not always, but please remember you are never alone for God himself promises us at Hebrews 13:5, ‘I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you.’ It’s a promise from your Heavenly Father who cannot lie. Building a close relationship with him you will never be alone, his presence will be with you wherever you goes.
So the question is, is it important to get baptized? Yes it is for being baptized and having God’s approval, and his Helper the Holy Spirit to guide you in the right direction. Also being baptized you will be fulfilling the words of Proverbs 27:11, ‘Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice, So that I can make a reply to him who taunts me.’ You have the opportunity to prove to Satan that you are taking God’s side and more importantly you have the great privilege to make God’s heart rejoice, putting a smile on his face. What a beautiful thing it is to know you can bring happiness to God’s heart by the positive actions you take.
The next question is what is involved in getting baptized? A bible study will help you get on the right track, it helps you live up to God’s requirements. Please accept a bible study, its free of charge and at your convenient time, and it could be as short as 15 mins.
If you are interested in having your own personal bible study, please visit JW.org and request one., someone will surely get intouch with you.
Hope you give your relationship with God and Jesus a good try. All the best.
