Please help me,I really need it. I keep trying to tell myself there is too much proof their is a God, but my mind doesn't want to let go of the fact, is how does He hear all of us talking...I know the Bible states He is all powerful, but my mind doesn't seem to grasp it and i need encouragement. Plus my mind is always struggling with evolution, I don't mean too, but there is so much out there and parts of it sound insane, but so many people are for it...I know it boils down to faith, but I'm scared, because I can't seem to snap out of this although I keep praying and praying.

Man's wisdom is foolish. Thats why no one can grasp the things of God without the Holy Spirit's help. God is Omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. He is everywhere and His eyes sees all. You may not grasp it, but you don't have to. Just trust.
God created the world in 7 days, and its not like 7 days in terms of 7 thousand years or 7 weeks. Its 7 days as in DAYS. Many cannot grasp the concept or how possible it is. But man thinks based on their own strength and wisdom, but God is more powerful than what any human mind can comprehend.
Do you know what 'ALL-Knowing' means? Someone who knows all. Even what you will say or do before you do it. Someone who knows your end from the beginning even before you were born. That is God.
Start trusting in Him.
You don't have to know everything or have everything figured out. But when you look at the earth, the works of Gods hands, and humans who He created with His bare hands, and when you remember that as far heaven is from earth, so is God ways further and bigger than ours, and God's foolishness (even though none) is much wiser than man's greatest wisdom.

You're trying to understand him with your head and that's ok but he is so monumental it is inconceivable, we cannot formulate his concept with our minds, his reign presides over the entire universe all at once. Hard to believe? Try this exercise.
Use Science to guide you into believing things that are impossible for the human brain to comprehend.
Scientists claim that the Universe at one time was the size of a coffee cup.
Earth moves at the speed of 670000 miles per hour. Seriously can you imagine that you and I are moving that fast through space? Can you feel it? Can you see it? Can you hear the movement?
About can you imagine it?
Keep doing what you're doing and it will come, you'll feel him in your heart and have a direct line with him. Ask in faith and trust in him.
Many blessings to you

There's a scripture in the Bible that informs us God's thoughts are not like ours. And ours are not like unto his.
We can't think like God so as to know how he does what he does. We can only think as we think and wonder how he does it.
Consider John 1:1 (The Aramaic translation version so that it brings you an image to perhaps better see what I mean)
In the origin The Word had been existing and That Word had been existing with God and That Word was himself God.
Resonance. The word. Vibration. Harmonics. Energy. All these things are God and are of God. God hears prayers when we say them aloud, or think them in the privacy of our own thought in any given moment. With thought go our emotions behind and within those thoughts. More resonance, more vibration, more harmonics, blending together in and to the word, that is God.
Just like praise music. It reaches to the Heavens. Not because God understands English, Spanish, German, or whatever language the songs are sang in. But because they resonate with the universal language that is music.
And what is music?Melody, harmony, rhythm.
If you use your rational mind to try to comprehend what is eternally present and all powerful, being not like that yourself and having no understanding of what it means to be ubiquitous, you will go crazy. The doubt you feel is due to your not possessing those qualities yourself in order to relate to them so as to confirm that it is possible to be that.
You're told to have faith it that is that is there. But the rational side of us wants proof. Even if we don't think so, we prove we do when we ask questions like yours. And it's good to ask questions. It's imperative. Blind faith will have us walking off cliffs because someone told us to just trust that gravity is a myth.
The thing is, God isn't rational.
Does that mean God isn't real? No.
People want what they can relate to to prove what they are told is real. They want to see, in order to believe. "I'll believe it when I see it."
Thing is, it's there. Everywhere we look, the proof is there. Watch the sunrise, and there's your proof. Be still before you go to sleep, lay in bed and focus on your heartbeat. Tune everything else out, even the sounds outside your window. Focus on just that rhythm of life beating inside your chest. That Godly creation.
There's proof. In those moments, when you still your mind that is so chaotic now with this question you've posted, focus on that heart rhythm until it's like when you say one word over and over again and in a very short time it doesn't make sense anymore. With the heart rhythm just focus on it's beating until it isn't the focus at all and your mind just let's go. Then in that still silent emptiness you will have your answer.
(HUGS YOU) God Bring You Peace.

It must be that you are under attack by the enemy. You seem to be caving in to the fleshly, soulish thoughts you are having.
One can't stop the formation of thoughts. If you sense that a thought in formation is ungodly, be prepared to cut it off and not let it get fully formed nor let it inspire any action (2 Cor 10:3-6). Use the example of Jesus in the wilderness after He had fasted 40 day and was hungry. He was in conversation with the devil while being tempted. Jesus, in His temptation, said repeatedly to the devil "it is written ..." followed by an applicable verse (Matthew 4:1-11). If you resist the devil, he must flee(James 4:7). The devil has nothing else to do than make your life miserable but rejoice, Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33).
I can't imagine the same approach failing to work for you.

*Jenny30, humans have limited brain power and attention span--
How many people can you listen to at one time?
God is spirit and as you have read in the bible and have heard others
say-- God is all knowing etc. God doesn't have limited "brain power" nor
is his attention span short.
The bible reveals to us that God made everything that is seen and that
which is unseen/invisible.
I always enjoy reading this in the bible about Abraham and Sarah being told by the LORD they would have a son; beginning at Genesis 18:11-15
"Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; Sarah was past childbearing. Sarah laughed to herself, saying, After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
And the Lord said to Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I indeed bear a child, when I am so old? Is anything too difficult for the Lord?
At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and
Sarah will have a son.
Sarah denied it however, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid.
And the Lord said, No, but you did laugh.
The Lord heard Sarah even though she didn't laugh aloud!
Not only did the Lord hear Sarah laugh(to herself), He also heard
her sentiments above becoming pregnant in her old age.
A lot of people are for evolution because it requires nothing of them...
meaning they don't have to believe in God. They can believe it all happened
by chance or whatever.
It takes FAITH to believe the Word of God and each of us has been given
a measure of faith--now what each person does with their measure of
faith is up to him or her.
Romans 10:17
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God."
Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

Do not be so open-minded that your brain falls out
God exists outside of time. Time does not affect Him. He is not limited by time. That's why He can take all the "time" He wants, and spend hours with each one of us. That's how He's in our yesterday, our today, and our tomorrow.
It's as if you have two kids, both hollering for help. If you were God, you could step out of time, help one while the other is kinda frozen, then help the second, and for us, it seems like it's all at once. I know that's not accurate totally, but it helped my kids to think of it that way when they had questions.

It's not the minds fault, the devil is putting those things in your mind, yes He can do that and your biggest enemy, your FLESH (sinful nature). Both oppose Jesus and the reason it's by faith is because the flesh and natural mind can't comprehend God. That's why He talks to the Spirit. Yes God can also put thoughts in your mind but the natural mind can NEVER comprehend God. The mind simply isn't on that level because God is spirit not natural. The devil can give you thoughts in hopes that you think they're yours so you feel bad or crazy lol, but once you get saved you can be sure that any thought that doesn't line up with God can NEVER be from you because God says you have a mind like Christ. If you're not saved then yes some thoughts will come from you (sinful nature). Being SAVED separates you from the sinful nature and once you begin to realize that any thought against God can NEVER be from you, it becomes harder for the flesh out the devil to trick you
. Trying to understand God intellectually is pointless and you'll become crazy, that's why there's evolution theory. The natural can't figure how God did it, so hey let's create something that we can understand. This has been goin on forever and will continue to go on. Whether some believe God or don't, doesn't matter because truth is truth and any lie will ALWAYS get exposed. Don't get frustrated, you just have to accept God is beyond anything out anyone and the natural can't comprehend that . I can imagine the devil laughing because he knows the truth. Laughing that anything complex (cars, houses, cell phones, tv's, tablets etc) in the natural all was created by someone but yet the earth and humans (the most complex creation ever) came out of an accident lol.

Being educated is one thing - but being involved spiritually with Jesus is understanding and filtering out your weaknesses and failures so that the peace of Jesus can be felt on a supernatural level - it's almost like our giant satellites on Earth in search for E.T. aliens somewhere in this huge space of our universe.:
The full potential benefit of our health and intelligence of our minds and bodies will be recovered once Jesus returns hopefully soon in this 21st century to transform us so that we will use all of our five senses: see, hear, touch, smell and taste to live a failure-proof and accident-proof eternal life during social activities such as playing sport, learning science and biology, and even cooking as chefs:.
I'm just guessing that we wouldn't be just sitting, listening and singing church worshipping songs with Jesus being our pastor, while treating every day as church on Sundays once we are inside the Kingdom of God on a new disaster-proof Earth .;*;.
