Hi there!

I'm a new Christian who is personally, lacking community as my parents aren't aware I am a daughter of God.

I would love it if some people who are in a similar position to me could make a group chat on dc!

Even people have been Christians for a long time are welcome 🩷

DM or comment if you're interested!

I truly need help getting closer to god. I am (13M) and currently feel like i need to get closer to God. Ive posted here before and got loads of help which helped me go from not believing to believing and having more faith. Now, however, I need to get close to God. I have anxiety of death, but my biggest fear is going to hell, or hearing “You were so close” or something. I pray everyday at night, sometimes during the day but usually once a day. I try to do kind deeds and be overall a nicer person by helping people with small things and giving compliments. I can’t go to church most Sunday’s since I’m with my mom, but even when I do go I feel like I’m not engaged. I have been diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in the past, so that leads me to be distracted and not pay attention. I want to feel engaged and like I understand and am leaving every service closer to God. My average day goes like this. Wake up and go to school (6:30-8:00), school (8:00-2:30). On Tuesday’s and Thursday’s I have tutoring, so I leave school at 3:30, and Wednesday’s i get out 1:30. I train from 4:00 to 8:00 everyday of the week, (MMA). Once i get home I eat, shower, and go to sleep. Some of my biggest problems are cussing, lust, and using the lord’s name in vain. If someone can help me implement things that would help me get closer to god throughout my day, or help with my problems, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I am a teen growing up in a Christian family (dad and 2 sisters) When I was younger (like 10-12) I think my faith was stronger. Now as I get older, I just am more skeptical and have more questions. One of those things is judgement day. So it it just like one random day God will judge if you go to heaven or hell? And also I've beenn finding out a lot of things are sins. like atp everything I do is a sin, like scrolling on Tiktok for 3 hours. I mean some things seem really hard to avoid, like being easily offended, having secrets, jealousy, hesitating to forgive, being sarcastic, loving the world, and even worrying...like I'm sorry but I can't worry without it being a sin?? Ik people say don't worry, God will take care of it all but I mean, sometimes I can't help it. I don't mean to be offensive or sinful but some of these things seem overboard. Ik you aren't expected to be perfect, and God hates the sin and not the sinner, but like I still feel bad and shamed on when I do these things. Anyways, advice?

mainly people be toxic to me on the game and I get wrathful but im trying to be calmer
