God is the Source of Existence
If you don't think that it is strange that you exist in this world, you cannot be fully thankful to God.
Any man is made of dusts of a star or the past sun that had existed before the present sun. After this old sun was exploded, scattering various atoms, molecules, chemical compounds, gasses, debris, etc., the present sun started to be formed with remaining hydrogen gas, and the earth and other planets also started to be formed with remaining atoms, molecules, chemical compounds, gasses, debris, etc. And, when billions of years passed, human beings emerged on the earth. It means that hearts and minds of the current mankind were made of materials left by the old sun. And then, any man is originally nothing but part of the old sun. Yet, you must feel that it is strange that part of the old sun constitutes you. How could a tiny material part of the old sun become a human being that is you? Or how did such a tiny material part of the old sun come to have the conscious that it is you?
Such a tiny material part may form cells, brain cells and a brain, but material cannot have the conscious if it constitutes a human brain. Our conscious that we are ourselves must come from somewhere beyond this material universe. Our brain cells must work as a kind of antennas, but where do the electromagnetic waves received by each antenna come from? It must come from the spiritual world. And the signal received by brain cells of each of us must give us the conscious that each of us is itself. In this way, each of us comes to exist not simply as material but as spiritual existence or as a living thing with the conscious.
So, our existence depends on the spiritual world. And the spiritual world is directly governed by God, since Christ Jesus said that God is Spirit.
Our brain cells must be an interface between the material world and the spiritual world.
However, Christ Jesus said that if we had faith, the kingdom of God should come to us. To have faith must mean to enrich this interface, and the kingdom of God means the increased strength with which this interface of ours is connected to the spiritual world.
So, all I can say is that what is worth being called to exist in each of us is the spirit since God is Spirit.
And, what exists owes its existence to God. Because God is the source of existence of anything even in the spiritual world.

Mar 8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
Mar 8:3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
Mar 8:4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
