I can prove my job exists.
A better analogy for your choice of the Christian religion is if you married a woman but you've never met her. No one else you know has ever met her either. You don't know for certain where she lives exactly but you believe she's out there somewhere. You have some letters allegedly written by her that were handed to you by someone else. That's the only "evidence" you have that this person you married is even real.
You also have a job too but you don't know where it is that you work. You believe that your job exists and someday you'll get paid for it. Someone told you that you've been hired by some other mysterious character that they in turn have never met but you have no evidence that you're really employed.
My analogy was fine considering this given from the OP:
Let`s assume you become convinced there has to be a God who watches over everything you do.
Whether it's reasonable to become convinced of god's existence is not at issue. OP made such conviction a given.
