I don't understand exactly what you are trying to say, but...
Yes, of course God will forgive you. Your job, though, is to make sure that you are not repeating the same mistakes. If you know that a certain crowd or a certain circumstance causes you to do things that make you "mess up", then you have to find ways to overcome them or just avoid them altogether.
Read your bible. Pray to God, asking for forgiveness, asking for strength to do what's right, asking Him what he wants you to do with your life.
And be careful with your "preaching." I don't know exactly what you mean by that, but make sure you are doing things that God wants you to do, and not just what you think you should do. Always speak to people about God politely, and never forcefully. Be the living expression of God's love in the world, as Mother Theresa would put it. That is the best way to help someone.

God is just another fake creation by man.
Humanity has created many Gods, for example – Gods of Olympus, Ancient Egypt, Babylon and so on. Most of us are atheists about most Gods humanity has created, except the latest craze, the current God in the Bible. Learned atheists have also rejected this version of a God, but some hard-core believers still hang on, presumably until a better image of God is created by man.
Faith in God seems to be nothing more than humans attempting to run away from reality, an excuse to avoid thinking and evaluating evidence. Faith is just an emotional escape and really just a substitute for opening your eyes to reason.
Believers talk about God creating man in his own image. It’s in the Bible so it’s fact – get a grip, get real. The facts suggest the exact opposite. Man created God in his own image. I’m sure humanity will disregard this God, as they have disregarded all previous Gods, it’s just a matter of time before humanity creates another God that better serves their emotions and image.

I don't know what you have done but always remember that he is a forgiving and loving father but it doesn't mean that you have to mess up w/ your life if you want to and feel guilty after. Noone is perfect and human is like that but as i said do not do the things which you think is a sin, read the bible.

yes, the Lord will always be there for you. It is hard being steadfast. 17 is so hard too keep focused on the Lord. Keep your eyes on the book of Psalms. David was tempted and weak. But he prayed out loud to the heavens and he was delivered.
go to church and don't worry about preaching and singing. be a part of the congregation. go up to the front for prayer. have the elders come and lay their hands upon you and pray. Jesus never fails. Keep looking up. Some day, when the shadows flee away. Today is some day for you darlin. Lord Bless and Keep you near.

The thing is my friend - you can let the evil one get you down, let him call you a hypocrite or loser and give up - OR - you can continue the fight.
One thing is clear; a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits. A person can get so frustrated with themselves and say, "What's the use!" and give up. Thats like swimming halfway across the river, giving up and swimming back to the place he started from.
I am the least one to be giving you advice - but I tell you, giving up will never be the answer. We struggle against our own sinful flesh.
Someone once told me, when the devil quits bothering you - he's got you. The battle has you feeling like a yo yo. Prayer, speaking to God about your confusion, helps. That and reading your Bible.

Wow, seems like you have a lot of people here who care about you. How sweet, That's God's Spirit talking to you. Listen, You are not perfect, by trying to be perfect you are saying, I can be like Jesus. I try to be like a God. And anything that you do, GOD know before you did. He knows all your screw ups B4 we do. What we do, doesn't take him by surprise. One thing that I have learned about my feelings, here's a Revelation--"They LIE!!"
Our feelings lie to us most of the time!! If we are depressed, we "feel" like God is angry with us, or even disappointed W/us, We are "feeling" empty God is away he is not with me. Yet he is, He said I will never leave nor forsake you, I believe Jesus.
He has forgiven you, and I will tell you brother, You are forgiven. take your Matt and walk.
Because If our feelings were aligned with what God is, we would be Joyous all the time and be filled 24/7 and be spiritually HIGH!!
God is awesome all the time and he knows you man, he loves you like never B4 and if he didn't care for you, you wouldn't be expensive.

God is forgiving. That's his nature. I don't think you can get in good or bad with God. I think you have the right idea. There are many people who could be resources to you in your community, such as a counselor, or a priest. Meanwhile, I think you have the right idea. Prayer helps too. If you say something often enough, it helps you think about it.

IT's gonna happen especially in todays world with so much temptation and it's doing it's job extremely well. I've known men and woman in there 90's dealing with the same thing as your are .
You just have to know it can and more than likely happen and God knows this and will be there for you when you need him.......

1Co 6:9 Don’t you know that evil people will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who are prostitutes or who commit homosexual acts. 10 Neither will thieves or those who always want more and more. Neither will those who are often drunk or tell lies or cheat. People who live like that will not receive God’s kingdom. 11 Some of you used to do those things. But your sins were washed away. You were made holy. You were made right with God. All of that was done in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Some of you used to do those things...

God is merciful & all-loving. Ask for forgiveness & straighten your path. Move on. Sorround yourself with children of God that will help improve your faith & avoid bad company.
Also, always look before you leap. For every action to be taken, ask yourself if God would be happy watching you do it.
God bless you.
