Yo, can someone listen? I'm having trouble trusting God

Most of us want a quick fix ,and it is particularly prévalent in the 'evangelical' and American way of religion ,but there is no quick fix ,as patience in this case is very important .You seem to be someone who studies the world ,science, looking for God ,and that is a good thing ,but sometimes we look in the wrong way, and in the wrong places.
So far you seem to be a "deist" , where you can see evidence for God in His Design ,and at least you have come this far .
However you are in pain enough to ask for help from human beings ,and as you must know when we are in pain ,whether emotionally (people ) , spiritually (lack of contact with God ), or physically , we are missing something in our Relationship with God .

Prolonged depression for years, indicates that one needs to reassess our Relationship with ourselves , others, and of course with Our Maker .And since everything begins in the 'heart' , and then proceeds to the 'mind' , that is where we must begin .
Many of those In power in religions are driving people away because they do not understand, that hurt , lost people ,First of all need to be heard ,and then Secondly to be guided to what they must do .
The heart 'listens , hears ,and the mind guides, if it is well informed in the Truth .
Without both love (the heart ), and intellect (study ,research ,mind ), the Truth cannot manifest in a person . If a loving person reaches out to God , at sometime (patience )He will reply, and give succour , but over time as we mix in the world and have to face up to the challenges of every day life and on going existence, we want to be able to explain, both to ourselves and to those whose hearts are less 'faithful' ,how to proof to these more materially , intellectually oriented people, that God really exists . They have never truly met with Him ,and until they do you have a hard task . In your personal case you have the opposite situation, where you can 'see' God's order and design ,but not feel His Presence ,and you want to know why He is not there for you .

Niikkideamous , you know why, and now you can tell us why ,and we can go from there .
The road is long ,but we must take the first steps .Once we are on the Road ,even if we stumble ,assuming our intentions are true ,not fake ,then God will guide us a give support ,but we must allow Him in to our hearts .

Well Nikki ,have you heard the expression ,in a song I think "the darkest hour is just before the dawn" .Can I ask what age you are ?
Although I am an orthodox christian in that I believe that Jesus is God ,our Saviour ,and the only way to eternal life,I have studied other religions and found that in Ancient India before so called Hinduism there was a monotheist religion called Vedic ,and to me it is without doubt the most Advanced known society on the earth ,until now .
It is ignored by those christians of the west who have to believe that God only appeared to the Israelites .I do think that the bible is the last true intervention by God to save humanity ,because it comes at the end of a period of time in God's long term plans .
So, why do I tell you this now ? Naturally I hope to pull you with our Creators help,out of your dark place ,as I think that maybe you are someone who has been neglected by the traditional christian teachings ,and which , in it's ignorance the scientific community has denied the importance of .
You will know that in Genesis it says that the stars are Witness to the Glory of God, and His Creation ,and they believed this in Ancient India , which has the most developed study of the whole star system .
There are those who are experts in this system .Since I do not think one can tell the future ,neither do the best of these try to do that ,as they recognise that you can 'see' the signs after an event ,but never predict . What it can do is help you understand yourself ,and should help you know better how wonderful our God is .So if you can find someone who believes in Jesus, and knows this vedic 'astrology ' , it helped me to know myself, my past ,but not my future .That is ultimately God's decision .

Depression is often the 'little death ' which comes as we go through profound changes in our developement .It is related to "unless a man or woman is born again " that Jesus talks of .This was understood in vedic, and was related to our spiritual developement, and without it we cannot truly be born again , cannot see clearly .
