Why doesn't God answer me?

I've been on a journey toward Christianity for the past 3 years. I used to be Muslim, but now I believe in Christianity, though I haven't been baptized yet.

I often hear people say things like, "God showed me the way," "I saw God," or "God spoke to me in a dream." And I can't help but wonder... does this really happen to them? Maybe some of it is true, but could some of it just be their mind playing tricks on them? Could it be hallucinations or wishful thinking? I don’t know.

The thing is, in these 3 years, I don’t feel like God has ever shown me anything. I haven’t seen Him, I haven’t heard His voice. I pray every single day, asking for guidance, but I don’t feel like I’m getting any answers. And honestly, it makes me feel lost. Sometimes I even wonder… what if He isn’t real? But at the same time, I still believe.

So I’m confused. Are people exaggerating when they say they saw God? Are they just interpreting regular dreams in a special way? Or does He actually reveal Himself like that, and I’m just not seeing it? And if that's the case… why not me? Am I doing something wrong? Am I not good enough? Am I not a good person?

I’d really love to hear from people who have been through something similar. Please, share your thoughts with me.
