I am a 14 year old kid. I believe in God and pray to Him. I made a promise to Him that I broke. I feel bad and have been praying to Him for weeks to forgive me. Will He forgive me?

I'm thankful you feel guilty over your past; what hope would you have if all those things remained buried? Tragically, that's what happens with many people.
The most important truth I can tell you is that God loves you and wants to forgive all your sins so you can be with Him forever in heaven. He loves you so much that He has done everything that is necessary to make your forgiveness possible. He did this by sending His only Son into the world to take away your sins by His death on the cross.
Let me use an example to illustrate this. Suppose you owed the bank a very large sum of money—so large that you knew you could never repay it. But then suppose that one day a very wealthy friend came along and said, "I went to the bank and paid your debt, and now you don't owe them anything." What would you do? You'd have two choices: You could disbelieve him and go on worrying about the debt—or you could accept what he did and believe it.
This is what Jesus Christ did for you! He paid the debt you owe God because of your sins—and now all you have to do is repent of your sins and believe it. Open your heart to Christ today, and thank Him for paying the debt you owed God for your sins. The Bible says, "In him we have ... the forgiveness of sins" (Ephesians 1:7). This is God's promise to you.

God will forgive you. Just ask for forgiveness and He will give it to you. And, of course, try to do better next time.

God could never hate you. The best thing about God is that he will always forgive us if we ask. He knows what is in our hearts including our weaknesses.

Yes, I believe God will forgive yu. The Bible says he is faithful and just and will cleanse us of all unrighteousness if we ask. What it sounds like is you need to forgive yourself. He forgave you the first time you asked.

Yes, He is merciful and just to forgive us of our sin when we repent. (I John 1:9) Sometimes it's harder to forgive yourself. Just remember that it is best to not make a promise to God unless you're definitely going to keep it.

Hi, the truth is god knew we would break our promises so he sent his son jesus so we could beat death and join him someday in heaven. God wants us to live the best life we can, but he does know we are human and will break promises sometimes. Try your best and god will be happy knowing your heart is true. He loves us even when we fall down.

Yep. In theory, no sin is beyond forgiveness. I did the same thing pretty much.
