"When it comes to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others - not because He has favorites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favorites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one . . . " (C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity).
Interesting. If you are someone who believes in God but can't seem to "see" or "know" Him, I guess the question is, do you really want to? If so, are you willing to put in the necessary elbow grease to clean off all that "dust"?
