I am a teenager and a few years back, I made a decision that when I grow up, I would go to serve God and Christianity. Yesterday, some worries just buzzed into my mind and now I suddenly feel like I won't be able to enjoy a normal life if I do so. I felt as if I would be a failure and suddenly didn't want to pursue my dream instead I felt like I would become a doctor, lawyer or something. So many worries started coming and I found myself answering so many questions and worrying about the future., when I am still so young. I just threw my wish of three years into the dustbin and felt like I should lead a normal life. I felt so unconfident and faithless, whether in God or myself. Help me, please, I don't understand what happened.

When a child, I thought as a child. Then I put away childish things and grew up. You are growing up and realizing that you are many things and each day can bring a decision for your future life. It is a normal growth process. You can serve God and any religion you choose as you grow and learn more about your chosen field. At the same time, you can occupy yourself for material living with the job of your choice. Give unto God what is His and unto manna what is material.

You serve God well if you use your talents to contribute positively to the world, in what ever way you feel you can be most effective. Pray/meditate, exercise, eat healthy and don't over indulge, and this should keep you strong spiritually, and help you make the right decision.

At your age it's natural to have a lot of conflicting ideas about what you want to do with your life. There's no reason you shouldn't explore a lot of different options. Even if you "commit" to something, you can ditch it later if it turns out not to be what you expected, or is not fulfilling to you. As you go through life, you'll re-invent yourself every so many years... it's called gaining maturity and experience. Whatever you do, find something you love to devote yourself to. Otherwise you'll be miserable and resentful.

Sin is outside of our bodies. Worries, anxieties... they're not you. Don't let them ovecome your thoughts. If you let yourself be subjected to them, to be possessed by them, you are not thinking straight. You may need counselling. You may need comforting. Go to any Christian group for help. There is not enough time or space to do that here.

What happened, dear one, is that you grew and changed. That isn't surprising or wrong. If you need help figuring all of it out, talk with the pastor of your church or your school guidance counselor.
God bless!

Good ! It looks like you are getting rid of schizoid delusional mental disorders dear.
With education and good public schools, religious superstitions are quietly fading away and it's a good thing.
Plan on living a pleasant modern normal life free from religious superstitions and delusions from now on.
