Hello beautiful ones,
I'm still on milk trying to get to meat and I'm actually crying typing this because I've asked this question so many times to so many people over a period of years and I feel like I'm doomed and forever trapped in my own mind so I'm sorry for the rambling:
I'm 19, I've been raised to be a Christian, I'm not sure how old I was but I think between 14-17 I became born again and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord, Saviour and one true God and have been water baptised BUT I have a problem with addiction, backsliding over and over again and then confessing over and over again, and I slip back into my old ways... I pray to God to soften my heart so I can stop being so sinful, I pray for God to help me because every time I say sorry to God, I can't FEEL the apology within me and I'm aware of this so I'm scared that I haven't been forgiven. When I call Him, I know He hears but it's as if He doesn't want me to go to Heaven because He doesn't help me to stop sinning. I KNOW this is not the case and it's all on my part and I feel ridiculous for even typing that, but I'm SO confused in this walk that I have no idea what conclusion to come to.
If I (God forbid) die today, will I go to His kingdom or to hell? I don't know what to do anymore, I just want to WANT to praise God and have Him be a big part of my life and not sin and it's so hard because it's like I can feel God calling me and calling me every day of my life but I can't reach Him and I can't reach Jesus. I have maybe 1% of mental clarity and the rest of the time I'm on autopilot so it's hard for me to actually think.
Thank you all and Jesus bless you!
