I have a habit of saying Oh my Goodness without the extra o and the ness. My family just started going to church and I now know that it is a sin to say that. Will god ever forgive me? How can I break the habit. I am 13 and I need help.

It is sweet that you actually feel bad about something most young people do without thinking, it shows that you actually realise there is a God and care about using His name in not the best way.....I am sure He will forgive you as soon as you simply tell Him you are sorry, and ask Him to give you the strength to stop saying His Name like that.
I hope you will soon come to know Him through Jesus, and come to know how kind and merciful He really is, then you just won't want to use that special Name in the wrong way anymore, just like you wouldn't use the name of any person you cared about.....

As soon as you hear yourself say it, stick the word "ness" on the end of it. At first, it will come out sounding like "Godness", but then once you get the habit started you'll easily just be able to change it to "Goodness".

Well, being aware of it is the first step. If youre used to it, its pretty hard to stop. Best thing is to ask God to help you work on that; also, asked your family to call you out on it each time you do and put a quarter in a jar every time. If you have to pay to say it, that also will help you, Im sure.

The first habit you need to break is coming on here. You are supposed to be 14 to be on here.

God has already forgiven you. You can break the habit by thinking before you speak.

You have not sinned. Saying "Oh my God" May even be construed as an acknowledgment of God. What kind of God do you think we Christians have ? God would not be that petty.

Stop saying it and get on your knees and sincerely pray for forgiveness.
GOD bless
