What are some things that tell you there is a God?
God has provided many evidences of His existence. One of these is the testimony of His creations: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork” (Psalms 19:1). Have you ever looked in awe at the night sky with its billions of stars? Or studied the intricate details of a leaf or flower? Or marveled at the miracle of a tiny new baby? These beautiful and complex creations didn’t come about by chance. They are the creations of God, your Heavenly Father. They can remind you of His existence and of His love for His children. An ancient prophet declared: “All things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth... and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator” (Book of Mormon, Alma 30:44).
Holding a sweet child, singing a baby to sleep, climbing a mountain to find a glorious sunrise, the smell and sound of a summer rain, the beautiful vibrancy of autumn changes, the brightness and stillness of newly fallen snow, the newness and freshness of spring, warmth from a loving embrace, a smile, a contagious laugh...get it? The answer to the Question of whether or not there is a God is all around us! Accompanying the feelings we get when we experience some of these beautiful things is the feeling that seems to whisper "Yes, this comes from a loving Heavenly Father to you, his sweet child. Yes, He loves you." Heavenly father tells us he loves us every day. It is our choice whether or not to believe that He really does.

There are so many instances when I just stop and marvel at this world. There are so many instances when I stop and marvel at blessings in my life. I know there is a God because I receive all that I stand in need of. I have never had to go without because of God. I have someone to comfort me when I need it. I know there is a God because he led me in my life to find my husband. I espcially learned there was a God when I had our baby girl. Nothing in this life can ever compare to being God-like except for the creation of a child.

I identify with Fyodor Dostoevsky, who once wrote: "It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt." I respect people who find it difficult or impossible to believe, because of the incongruity of so much unjustifiable hurt and pain in the world or because the affirmative evidence for God's existence does not seem compelling. But yet I believe. I believe in a God who is powerful, knowledgeable, loving and good. I see God in the heavens and earth. I see God in the principles of physics, evolution and natural selection, psychology, engineering, mathematics, the arts and the humanities, among others. I see God in the multitude of faith (or nonfaith) traditions throughout the world and among all peoples, giving meaning, purpose and direction to God's children and creations. Yes, there is much inexplicable hurt, pain and injury in the world, and yes, God's respect for our free will and freedom to believe requires that the evidence for God be noncompelling. I do not pretend to know easy answers; I look forward one day to receiving explanations or understanding of those tough questions. In the meantime, I am grateful for the whisperings from God's spirit and for occasional experiences that, to me, seem like "postcards from God", confirming to me God's love and care for me and for all creation. I have never seen God personally, but I have experienced God and I have met God's children and seen God's creations.

For me, nature is one of the strongest evidences that there is a God. It is hard for me to believe that the mountains, oceans, forests, flowers, animals, and skies were randomly formed. It is hard to deny the beauty and the peace one can feel while sitting in silence and looking into the night sky.
Beyond that, answered prayers tell me there is a God. I have prayed too many times and seen answers too many times for me to think that it has all been coincidence. These were prayers that expressed my concerns of which no one knew, yet were accompanied by answers that were so specific and detailed. God loves us to a degree we cannot comprehend, and as we look we will feel His love in very powerful and comforting ways.

Everything in nature tells me that there is a God. The universe is so ordered, so perfectly in harmony. If you really study our wonderful little planet, you'll learn that it is so amazingly unique to be able to sustain life, that there is just no way the earth and its inhabitants were merely created by chance.
The most important reason I know there is a God, though, is because I have felt his presence in my life. Through prayer, I have built a relationship with him, and as such, I love him and know that he loves me.

Looking outside and seeing the beautiful sunrise or sunset, pretty much all of nature and really everything tells me that there is a God.

There are so many things that tell me there is a God. I can scarcely go on a walk without being reminded there is a God. I look at the radiant color of the setting sun, and the beauty takes my breath away; deep in my heart, I know that there is a God. When I hear the laughter of children in the nearby park, I know there is a God. When I hold a newborn in my arms and look into those eyes, I know there is a God. When I walk along the shore with the vast ocean, the rhythm of the crashing waves, and the light sea breeze as my companions, I know there is a God. When I ride the bus to school and see a random act of kindness performed to someone in need, I know there is a God. One of my favorite things to do is to star gaze. The pure awesomeness of the stars and the planets tells me there is a God.

All things denote that there is a God: the planets in their orbit, the laughter of children, the chirp of a bird, and the brush of the wind on my face. I believe that there is a creator, and that this world and everything in it are not an accident.
