would God see me as a christian follower of his will?
I don't usually tell people I'm a christian because I don't go to church, I tend to swear a lot, I end up doing things I don't want to do like lie. I accepted God into my life when I was 4, I pray as much as I can or remember to, but I'm scared the He would see me as a hypocrite or something that He doesn't approve of and I wouldn't go to heaven and be with Him. Not just that I feel bad so much because I feel I've let my loved ones down and I don't know how to forgive myself, and I just feel like I messed up my life, and I don't know how to change. I'm scared to cry in front of others because I don't want to burden them. I'm just so scared. I don't know how to change and I pray things will get better. I always wanted to be the person people looked up to and loved but I'm the opposite and I can't help people I need God, I need help, I hurt so bad I don't know what to do

If God can forgive you, then you can forgive yourself. don't be afraid to cry in front of others, God looks at our weakness as humbleness. once Christ died, all of our sins were forgiven, that means if you are really serious about changing, then just ask God. Everyone meses up in their lives, but if i stand here today after everything i have done, so can you. Just remember being a Christian is not just wearing the name on our body, but it is acting like one, being like one and committing your spirit to be one. Just pray and ask of God what you need, and wait for his reply, but trust in the lord with all your heart,mind and soul.
God will see you as his child, one that he would never abandon.
Remain blessed.

The wonderful thing about God is that you don't have to be perfect before you come to Him. As a matter of fact, He loves it when we come to Him, mess and all and just ask for love and forgiveness. God doesn't see you as a hypocrite. You're just like the rest of us... a sinner and a human being, looking for love and acceptance. He accepts you just as you are, flaws and all... EVEN the cussing! LOL. Its not what you fail at, its what's in your heart that you are judged on. Its good that you pray. God wants to hear from you, but you need to be sure you can hear from God too. He speaks to us in many ways - through prayer time, sermons, Scripture, and other people. If you want to be different, start surrounding yourself with people who seem to live the way you want to live. Find a church you feel comfortable in (if you don't have one already) and start going regularly. Read your Bible - there's actually a LOT of encouraging stuff in there. If you need a little help with reading, go to Biblegateway . com They have free reading plans and studies and you can even get your daily reading passages emailed to you. I use it. I'm really lazy about reading my Bible, so it helps me a lot to stay on track. Don't worry about your eternal soul. When you said 'yes' to God He put your name in the book of Life. That's a done deal. Worry about your life here on earth, and what you can do to make it better for yourself and others. I have a feeling you are going to be somebody whom others can look up very soon, simply by being honest about who you are, and Who you love. You are going to be fine, I promise. But get connected! YOu need other people around you to help you grow. God doesn't tell us to be alone, He commands us to fellowship and share with others, so don't be afraid. Reach out. I promise it won't be as bad as you fear.
