Yep, good sources. I'd also recommend David Bentley Hart's The Beauty of the Infinite.

So according to your post, I need to just have faith (blind trust I guess) to see results, as in God showing Himself to me?

No, because God chose to do things a certain way does not in any way limit what He could do.

I am not sure quite how you got that from bling's post, but a blind faith is not what is described in the Bible. It is my personal belief that if you are sincere in wanting to know what the Truth of the matter is, God will reach you. Faith is being convinced of what you believe based on what you can find out. Trusting God is done because He has shown himself to be worthy of trust. Blind trust is just silliness.

Hello. As someone who understands your position quite wellike having experienced it I have a few recommendations.
1. Read the gospels. Find a nice study bible and read. Take your time.
2. Pray.
3. Read the works of Paul.
4. Find some beginner apologetics. I recommend Andy Bannister and C.S.Lewis.
5. Talk to belouvers.
I assure you your prayers can be answered. I hope this helps.
Godspeed.
