so i am a christian. But im so scared for death. I always have these thoughts like what if nothing is real and that really freaks me out. I am only 18. I shouldn't be so worried about it but i have moments where I will look around me and think nothing is real. I get so much anxiety from it. I want to believe there is a god. I want to be a christian that can read the bible daily and pray daily but I just feel like i suck at it. I sin daily. I don't know how to stop myself.

If nothing is real, that means you have nothing to lose. And death isn't real.
Or.
If God created the universe, it IS real. And you have absolutely nothing to fear.
So, If you believe in God, just trust in Him and there is absolutely nothing to worry about :)
ReplySurround yourself around devoted Christian people :)
Replydeath itself shouldn't be something you fear. I think death is just the next path we take. Nor good nor bad. It's enevitable and will happen eventually. It's out of our control. That's why we have to live everyday like it's our last because, one day, it really could be!
ReplyI'm Christian, and sometimes I feel similar. I'm only 12, and I sin daily too. Everyone sins daily, without even noticing. No one's perfect except for God and the people like God, so it's okay to sin because people are just sinful, but try to stop yourself when you can control the situation.
ReplyYou know what you do wrong so change it to doing what is right.
ReplyYou're ahead of most people born into Christian homes. I'm 16 and remember feeling this exact way not long ago. I felt guilty every night before bed when I prayed, knowing I would sin again tomorrow. And yes, I sometimes thought, what if this isn't real? Why can't I feel Him? A true Christain bears fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control). You want to make your faith your own but you don't know how is what I'm understanding. I felt the same way. The scary part of faith is the faith part. The only way to grow your faith is to step out in faith because once you do, you'll start to see him in your life. Well, how do you do that?The Bible says you need to die to yourself. You haven't changed since you were saved, have you? People you've known for years don't say wow you're different! That's because you've made a halfway commitment. You never risked much but making that choice. I did too. (I highly recommend reading through Romans its talking about this exact thing) also just read all these verses https://www.openbible.info/topics/dying_to_self) There's no easy trick to this. It's hardcore commitment God asks for. You need to continually pray for God to search your heart and reveal your sin. You must be willing to deny yourself and become a new creature. Join a bible study and take notes so you can apply what you learned throughout the week. Start a prayer journal. Listen to Worship music in your car. Take a Christain Theology class so you can understand what you believe and why it's real (highly recommend the class!! I did it and It changed my life). Immerse yourself in Him! It's beautiful, it's what we were made to do! He needs to be the thing that everything else stems from. Satan is good at convincing us. Find a way to keep accountable. Last year I was sitting alone and satan gave me a thought, "okay but what if God isn't real?" Then for the first time it didn't debilitate me with worry. Ever since I haven't believed that lie at all. The world pounds lies into our head more lies than we give credit to and I finally broke free of that one. I thought that's dumb of corse He's real. I went back to every fact I learned and was absolutely sure of that fact. But the one thing that just ended the whole inner argument is when I thought of how every human just wants something more. Were not happy and the only thing that can bring us joy is God. We crave that purpose only God can give. People can deny over and over if they don't want to belive it but that is irrefutable. The evidence has been right there in the center of who you are. You don't need to waver in your faith because he has always been there woven into the fabric of our bodies. Theres something deeper in us that's beyond human logic. I think even if you don't know that your soul does.
