got nothing to lose so I might as well try, but like i said I can't help feeling out of place and disrespectful for doing it, it feels empty
I'll do it though, thanks user
Pray to god

The best way I can describe how I feel faith is trust+belief. If you haven't read the new testament you can try the Gospels to give you an idea. If you need some extra help there are some fantastic youtube channels that aren't preachy and are super informative.

These guys are awesome, they have an entire overview of the Bible with the stories drawn.

This guy is one of my favourites. He's not really concerned with denominations and has a very grounded view of the texts. Similar to Luke in the Bible who was akin to a Historian.
Good luck mate, your intention matters a lot. Remember that love is the forefront of our belief and His (God) will.

You have nothing to feel disrespectful for man. Jesus wants souls to come to Him

>because I can't imagine god
No one can really do that user, God in actuality is beyond our understanding. But we know that He's here and will carry us through if only we allow Him to.
With praying, it might help you to start with a "pre-deigned" prayer. Find one that you like, really look at it to make sure you know exactly what it means and what you're asking for, and when you say the prayer honestly believe that God will (not can, will) give you exactly what you need. Really the key is trust, God is always with you and looking out for you, it is easy to forget this when life throws you shit but really your life is also full of many blessings. Remember to not just ask for things, but also give thanks for what you have and ask forgiveness for what you've done wrong. I've seen many on here thinking that they've done too much wrong and God would never forgive them, that isn't true, you just have to sincerely repent and accept the forgiveness that is offered.
I will say though that don't pray for crazy or miraculous shit and get pissed when what you specifically ordered doesn't happen. Miracles and crazy shit can happen of course, but like I said earlier God gives you what you need not what you want.

I prayed to God and Satan and Satan never answered me.

i'd never think of praying for material things I guess, it sounds kinda vain. What's a pre deigned prayer?

No worries mate, don't worry if it's hard. I found the first 3 Gospels boring but fell in love with John's writing. Just do your best. Good luck : )

why can't i believe?
why can't i just go "oh sure there's a god"
why do i have to think "nah man no evidence fuck that made up junk"
i wish i had some sort of all encompassing relief, but i'm too autistic to belief in something i can't see
