Your personal experience, whatever it may be, fallacious or no, is no proof or evidence of any god existing. You can't prove that it happened. In my opinion, what you believe a god has given you can most likely be pinned down to a kind of placebo effect.
You are correct in saying that a lack of evidence for something does not necessarily mean it is false, but it definitely does not mean you should believe in it. That it is a pitifully weak defense of theism. In the world of science, you'd be laughed at if you went around believing in theories with no evidence, why should anything regarding religion be any different?
