It took the end of my world, the end of all my hope for getting out of a situation by my own doing, to be humble/broken enough to see God working for me. Once I knew what to look for, I saw it all over. I once was blind to God, and Now I can see Him. That is the Only 'proof' we are ever given... The OPPERTUNITY To See God the Holy Spirit. If we turn from God in those trials we will remain blind.
Whatever you experienced, you own strength of will and, perhaps support from your friends, got you through your difficulties. You are underestimating yourself.
Many people live through very difficult times in their lives without believing in your god. They survive because of their own determination and perhaps the assistance of friends, relatives and the medical profession.
