I guess it's because of how I was raised. Even when I wasn't serving Him (and I didn't get saved until I was 28), I always knew He was there. Also I'm certain because of the evidence I've seen in my life -- things I've requested in prayer that NO ONE could have brought to pass but Him. As the old song goes: "Yes God is real for I can feel Him in my soul." It’s funny, the existence of God is something I’ve never doubted even as a child. I guess it’s because of how I was raised.
