Does God Exist?

I was around 32 or 33 years old. I was standing in church during the Holy Liturgy, lost in very dark thoughts: "Why don't I end my life?" It felt impossible to go on. Since the day I was born, my life was filled with misery, hunger, and humiliation.

The church was my only refuge, the only place where I felt at peace. But the world outside was unbearable. I kept asking myself: "How long can I survive like this? Am I only afraid of hell? Does hell even exist? Does God exist?"

At that moment, I realized something that broke my heart: I had never believed in God. Not once in my life. This realization brought me a pain I had never felt before—I felt completely hopeless.

Right then, I heard the priest's voice. He was finishing his sermon and asked a question: "What is a human being created for?" Then he answered: "A human being is created for happiness!"

In that second, I felt like I was born again. "Created for happiness? But I am a human being!" I thought. Who will make me happy? When? How?

From that moment on, I have never been unhappy again. Does God exist? Yes! God exists, and every person is created to be happy. No one has the right to take that away.
