Ok. I'm just gonna start from the beggining. I have so many questions.
I'm 13. I live in a household of Catholics, although its been years since I've been to a church. I was baptized when I was younger...but now, I'm desperately afraid of going to hell. I have asked Jesus into my heart and my life, and tried to be saved, but I don't think its working- either becuase I don't really believe, or it isn't out of love for God that I am praying, but for fear of the devil. I just want God to touch my life like he has so many others.
People say to read the bible- I try, but it scares me. It seems every passage is there to reassure me of my trip to hell, and it's just not fair anymore. I fear so much now...If you didn't live with me, you could never know- I have great freinds, play sports, etc..but no one knows when I get home I listen to my brother curse and swear at my mom, and watch her break into fits of rage and then tears. I can't take it anymore, and coupled with my religion fears its almost to much to bear. I'm not suicidal becuase I'm afraid to die without being sure I will go to heaven. I fear the end times, everything, and I just need help in how to get Jesus and the Holy Spirit into my life. Pray for me, do whatever...just please help me.
