Whenever I do something wrong, I panic and start crying and pray for God's forgiveness. How do I get over this? :(

Become Jewish... In Judiaism there is no such thing as hell. Many will tell you there is, but I happen to know for a fact the jewish faith does not support the belief of hell. knowing that Christianity was derived from judiaism with a few human changes added in, one then has to assume that the concept of hell was brought in to guilt people into acting a certain way. When the Christian and Catholic religeons began, they had to come up with a way to convert those who already believed in God to join the flock and "tow the line" Hell was the best way to do this. Why do you think the Cardinals in the Catholic Church wear red?? It is to be a constant reminder of what happenns to those who do not follow their path. I say as a teenager you have enough to worry abuot. Dating, Pimples, body constantly changing, sometimes a first job, college, and I am sure there is a ton of other things. Try to lead a good life, don't wrong anyone, be kind and caring and I am sure you will be rewarded.
Pray on this and the right answer will come to you.

You Need to simply ask Jesus Into your Heart.....And decide to Live for Him. It is always good to ask Forgiveness for Your Sins, So you need not Panic and try to get over it. God loves to see you Repent. You are Not Going to Hell Once you Accept Jesus into your Heart>>>>>>that is what He Is Saving YOU From. Just Trust Him and Love Him. Read Your Bible, and Pray a lot and find yourself a Good Bible teaching Church. + + +

You should have nothing to fear. You feel guilty, so you know what is right and wrong. You have faith, I know this because you pray for forgiveness. You trust and love God.
For forgiveness all God asks is that we love him, love and trust in the redemption that his son won for us on the Cross, and pray that we continue to receive all of Gods Grace, whether it be through the Sacraments or Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
You must believe that God is all power-full, and can do all things, including forgiveness.
The Holy Spirit has already given you faith therefore you already have forgiveness.
From the Lutheran Service Book: Rite of Confession and Absolution.
"Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; He will surely do it. Go in + peace.
Amen.
And from Divine Service III Confession and Absolution:
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, has had mercy upon us and has given His only Son to die for us and for His sake forgives us all our sins. To those who believe in His name He gives power to become the children of God and has promised them His Holy Spirit. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. Grant this, Lord, unto us all. (Mark 16:16; John 1:12.)
Amen.
Do you belong to a Church? Talk to your Pastor. Regardless of denomination your Pastor should hear your confession, and will be able offer advice and Scripture passages to comfort and strengthen your faith even though you may have great burdened of conscience and are sorrowful and Distressed.
I hope this helps. Feel free to email me if there is any additional direction I can give you.
Your friend in Christ.
Mark

Pastor Art. The call line sounds like a good idea, but you kind of passed the buck.

Never panic. God will ALWAYS LOVE YOU...never forget that. We as sinners will always make mistakes. The true meaning of being a Christians is to recognize those mistakes and try to learn from them. Be sure to always have God by your side through these difficult decisions. And when the Devil tries to tempt you, always know that you are stronger then him because you have God right with you.
I will pray that you come closer with him, and feel him with you always.
God Bless

You need to believe that Jesus died for you sins...ALL your sins...that you will ever commit. If there were any sins that you could commit that He could not forgive...then He died for nothing. If there is anything that you can do to "win" or "earn" your salvation, then He died in vain. The bible says that salvation is a "gift" of God. If you have accepted that gift and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ...not just believe in...but on. (You believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose on the third day and you have accepted the payment that He made for you).
You need to have faith then. The bible says that we can be asssured of ou salvation. Even Paul struggled daily with his "flesh". You need to remember that God has the power to "keep" you. He is a BIG God. Call on him...talk to Him.
We have all broken His law. That is why we needed a Savior. Just rest...and be still in the Lord.

Just accept Jesus Loves you, and gave his life so that we would not have to go to Hell . "He has the key's" and he WILL not allow you to go there, once you have opened your heart to him. He knows your not perfect none of us are. We will sin sometimes and make bad choices, but When we do learn from it, and ask for forgiveness with a true open heart in private to Christ (God) and he WILL forgive you.
Read Matthew 18:21-22 That's how many times you are to forgive and if you do, then you WILL have forgiveness from our heavenly FATHER. Don't beat yourself up!!

If this is real, I'm concerned about you. I have to wonder about your relationship with your parents and what has made you so frightened about punishment. If you have been abused which includes verbal abuse, you need some help in dealing with the problem and getting some help for your parents.
If not, I would encourage you to visit with a teacher, pastor, or counselor to visit about your fears. Sometimes we need someone to talk with and help us understand why we are so afraid.
I also want to tell you something about God. He does not want to punish you. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not sent his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through him." John 3:16-17 See sister, God doesn't want to punish you. He loves you and wants to spend eternity with you. You are his daughter and he sent his Son to die for your sin. He did that because he loves you.
So don't be afraid of what you are doing. In my 36 years of ministry I have yet to meet a person who was so worried about their sin who were not good people trying their best to live for God. Remember Psalm 139, you are "fearfully and wonderfully made". God made you and you are wonderfully made. You are his daughter. He loves you. Celebrate his love and goodness and don't allow the lies of Satan to torture you.

There was no hell in the Bible before they got the idea from the Zoroastrians during the Captivity (and embellished with myths about Hades from the Greeks).
Look at the Genesis myth. In the beginning God created the heavens (sky) and the earth. Hell is not on the list. Nothing is said about punishing the descendents of Adam and Eve by sending them to hell. Adam's punishment was he was going to have to work for a living and Eve was punished with painful childbirth. No mention of hell. They had not added it to the mythology yet.
It doesn't exist.

I don't know your denomination, but realize that JESUS Christ has already paid for your sins on the cross. Look at Him on the cross, paying for what you have done, and believe in Him, and you may find peace. Remember that salvation doesn't come from works, but from faith.
Maybe 1 John 1:9 will help you, too.
God bless you.

If you actually are a 14 year old girl, which I doubt, the solution is easy - it's time for you to grow up and stop believing in the boogy man. I realize there a people who are older than you that still believe in the boogy man, but that is because they never grew up. You should get a head start on them all and start living in the real world. Don't be afraid of invisible monsters. There's enough things to be stressed out about in the world. Wasting your time worrying about imaginary monsters is an easy way to drive yourself insane.
