Is God personal or an impersonal force

I don't want to insult anyone, just want to know others oppinion.In my experience ( 4-5) years of praying God ( the creator ) He doesn't act to me as a personal spirit. May be i'm wrong. Some gnostics believed, that He is an impersonal force...Why would they do that? In the Bible it is clearly stated, that He is a person. In Bhagavat Gita, Krishna is a person, too.I'm kinda lost. There are many articles stating one of the two oppinions. Yeah, I'm kinda lost. Feel free to criticize me. I want to believe, that He is a person.I haven't actually recieved a guidence from Him...He Just fulfils my wishes, that can lead to an unknown direction, is that a concsious God or not or may be be He gives according to your believe, so if I unconsiously have excepted, that He is not a person, He acts like one.. Share your experience if you want.

i imagine God to be a being (if not precisely a person).
there may be a multitude of God's; perhaps there is no "one above all".
i imagine Source to be singular and unique, but not a being.
