God is not visible ... Because there is no god

Not everything that exists is visible to the eye.  As for prayer I believe some forget that prayer is for people. Most prayers are for blessings or forgiveness. People pray for their selves and for others  Prayer has always been for the soul. I don't know what you mean with the flowers bit so instead I leave you with a quote.

“Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.”

yes everything is not visible but we feel their presence e. g. air smell taste ------ i have many doubts i want to clear them i do not have blind faith it is assumed that everything is made by god he is the creater so flowers are his creation i mean to say what is the point in offerring his own creation to him ?

Everyone has questions and doubts and everyone should. And we all have every right to believe what ever we want to and question the things that we don't. The only way to learn is to seek the answers.

If you study water deeply enough you would be amazed at everything water makes possible. You could study it for the rest of your life and maybe even answer some of the many mysteries that surround water. But even without all of that you have a fundamental understanding, Life wouldn't be possible without it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is don't look so deep into something that you miss the point. That's all too common these days.

The whole "Faith" thing is based upon NOT seeing . . . Hence why faith is the biggest con-game the man made religion could come up with.

There is no other part of your life where you rely on faith . . . Only belief of that which is not.

If God is Omniscient as the Bible states that He is, then prayer would be futile at best.

Great to have you here Pravin.
You will find that many theist apologists try the "Air Analogy" quite often. It is old and many whom lack knowledge regarding science do not understand that Air can be measured, weighed, even filtered to find the gases it contains. It can be demonstrable with regards to us interacting with it . . . if fails in comparing with a myth, concept or idea.

While it is true, that science cannot not measure those things that people "label" as Supernatural . . . you will find that theists are more comfortable with attributing "Magic" to those things they either do not understand, or Science cannot explain as of yet. As an atheist, we are comfortable with saying "We don't know yet, and may never know."

i do agree with you i want to change your last sentence ----we do not know yet but may come to know sooner or later it was believed in that earth is steady and sun is rotating science proved it wrong with solid proofs like that one day science will prove that god is only manmade concept but god believers can not prove science is wrong
i am not born atheist after experienceing the true life i changed to atheist i used to take moral support of god most of the timei had to believe out of fear that if i will not follow god then he will get angry and ruined me if i will follow then he will help me later on many things happened and i lost the faith in god now i am very comfortable without god adopting the theory whatever is going to happen will happen nobody and no way can change it it does not mean that one should sit idle with hands together one has to try his level best honestly and sincerely but keeping in mind that result will be decided by destiny nothing is in our hands at present i do not have the answer of why and how it happens so i am calling it destiny
one example of destiny :- one scholar student studies hard through out the year and expecting very good % marks but at the time of exam he becomes sick or for any other reason he can not attend the exam he fails and looses one year of life another average student gets through my answer is destiny

I don't believe in destiny . . I believe in Situations and Circumstances and how we react to them.
Both examples you mentioned had the outcome not because it was predestined, but it was how it was when that particular situation arose. He was sick because he was sick . . . and the acquisition of knowledge gained in studying for the test is not lost. It is a benefit to be added to his life.
Looking back it is easy to see life's path and where it went . . . we make the best out of each crossroad we come to, and move from there.

God wants us to come to Him based on the free will He gave us.

If He were visible, you would not be able to freely choose to come to know him-.

In such a case, how could you longer think that He does not exist?---you would have no choice but to believe in Him.

I infer from one of your comments you think that anything that exists must leave evidence of its presence.

Some persons with severe "colorblindness" see only shades of gray.

I wonder what value their description of a rainbow is for someone who can distinguish many colors of the spectrum.

(That is the general problem I have when I hear an atheist list his / her problems with the appearance and qualities of the God I believe in---how could they possibly know what they are talking about?  He contains all colors and they can see none of them---so they just stopped looking for Him.)

Your question can only be answered over time as you search for the answers from God Himself.  You will also find out why you think that God "needs" prayer and flowers and whether or not He does.

I think that search will be for you a wonderful adventure, with knowledge and appreciation of things that you never imagined could exist. 

Enjoy

"That is the general problem I have when I hear an atheist list his / her problems with the appearance and qualities of the God I believe in---how could they possibly know what they are talking about?" - Any comments made regarding the "qualities" attributed TO the concept of God, that I make, is taken directly from the Bible . . . If the Bible is NOT the source to use when one is attributing such qualities, pray tell us all . . . what that source might be Thomas?

When you write - "God wants us to come to Him based on the free will He gave us." - and the Bible says that God is
All Knowing
All Powerful
Perfect
Righteous (in that He is always correct/right)
Just

You contradict the attributes given by the Bible regarding God by saying man also has "Free Will". Free Will turns God into a reactionary being who's use of power has to work around the choices of man . . . the Concept of Free Will destroys pretty much all the attributes given to God. It is better that you embrace "Predestination" for mankind if you want the attributes to stick.
Now, let's see if you can engage in real debate rather then simple derogatory statements . . .

I will only speak (or type) for myself.  GOD doesn't need my prayers.  I need my prayers to GOD.  I don't pray to get GODS attention or to change his mind. I pray because when I pray to GOD it changes me.
