Hello, so I can't decide if I believe in God. I want to and I want to believe that my life is His and He created everything but I don't really. I go to church every Sunday and I believe in Him then but it's like the rest of the week I think logically and don't believe in Him. I don't know what's wrong with me. So, is he real?
I can't decide if I believe in God. Is he real?

The problem is that your church does not teach doctrines. Those that try usually only teach denominational stuff, not from the bible. You have to learn them on your own. Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read every day. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians. Here is a book to help you to understand the bible. It's a free download and you can get a hard copy at any bible book store.

Well! I'm glad we got that straightened out!
I beg to differ on this point, What is a Kingdom?
Basically, a royal government; also the territory and peoples under the rule of a king or, less frequently, under a female monarch or queen. Often the kingship was hereditary. The sovereign ruler might bear other titles such as Pharaoh or Caesar.
Therefore, a kingdom cannot be within you.
Referring to the Kingdom of God, the expression and exercise of God’s universal sovereignty toward his creatures, or the means or instrumentality used by him for this purpose. (Ps 103:19) The phrase is used particularly for the expression of God’s sovereignty through a royal government headed by his Son, Christ Jesus.
I was quoting Jesus. Put that in your highfalutin pontificating pipe and smoke it.
I don't think there was any call for your rather rude reply.
The kingdom of God is merely just the collective whole of true Christians, and Heaven. It's a pretty simple concept, but it still seems to confuse some people.
Is God real? Yes, he is you need only look around you at the Creation and understand that this cannot have come about by mere chance, everything has to have a designer and a maker.
A house is designed by an architect and then built by a designer. A dress is designed by a designer and then made up by a seamstress.
So surely something so complex as the human body, the universe etc must have been designed and then put together. Proverbs Chapter 8 is a good starting point.
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. -Jesus Christ
Obviously you do not know your Bible. Jesus was not referring to the Kingdom being within oneself , but that as the King designate of the Kingdom, he was telling the people that he was there amongst them at the time.
There is absolutely no way a kingdom can be inside a person.
Why do you think he left the model prayer telling us to ask for Gods Kingdom to come?
Bad translation. Should be something like "God is in you" or "the holy spirit is in you"
God is real. Here's some logical proof: something had to have created the universe, because something cannot naturally be created by nothing (thermodynamics) so something or someone must have done it supernaturally. And furthermore, I believe in the Christ, God and the Holy Spirit because of the difference they've made in my life, and because of how accurate the bible is historically and scientifically. I recommend finding a good church that keeps you engaged and wanting to come back, and that teaches according to the bible. Let me know if you have any questions.
Of course God is real. You and me are proof of God's existence. This universe has a Creator who created the universe. Unfortunately, we start giving God a name. We think God to be made of skin and bone. That's why we get confused. God is a power. God is not a statue or a saint. God is a power that no human being can paint. When we realize God is a power then we believe in that God. God is the heart that beats. That is why the scripture says- the kingdom of God is within you, God lives in the temple of your heart. But where do we search? We go to church. That's why for the rest of the week we are not convinced of God's presence. But God exists. Look around you. God's beauty is everywhere. Without God there would be no beauty. We must be enlightened with this truth
anything, Jewels. Not nothing.
