The bible simply tells one how to find Him.
So where does faith come in? One must exhibit the equlivant amount of faith equal to that of a mustard seed, to believe the promise God made in Luke 11. Fore if one can A/S/K as outlined in luke 11 God promises to make that person 'aware' (throughout the giving of the Holy Spirit.)
Again what 'proof' of God is needed other than being made aware of God? That is like asking What 'proof' is there of the color orange? Or of any color for that matter. There isn't. There is only an awareness that a wave length of light reflecting from the red and yellow part of the visual spectrum is indeed known as orange.
The problem with your analogy is that we can actually see colours. We cannot see your god.
Just because I am made aware of the Loch Ness monster, does not automatically mean i believe it exists. This is how all sceptics operate. We need actual evidence before we go believing in something. We can't help it, thats just the way we are.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
