Too afraid to let God love me

[Matthew625]

I was baptised easter 2018 after finding God a few years earlier. I am a worrier, a person who constantly thinks to much. I need advice: I love God but my faith has for the most part been me being afraid of doing wrong. I am so scared constantly. My actions in regards to Jesus is based on fear. Of doing the wrong thing in general and towards Jesus In particular. I don’t know what to do. My priest tells me to pray and I want to but maybe I am not motivated to keep it up. I struggle so much but in the wrong way…

Don’t know if any good advice Will come of this but I hope so but I am atleast happy to be living in the truth by saying this. I often don’t act the way I truthfully am and think on the inside because I think that Will lead me to be condemned.
God bless you all

Helpful priest

I identify some with how you are feeling. I used to always feel like that. For me, getting to know Jesus in daily Gospel readings and reflections really helped me know Him and feel loved by Him. On darker days I can still feel that way, but Gospel reflections are what seemed to grow my once nearly nonexistent prayer life and thus my friendship with Christ.

Keep going to mass and confession and go easy on yourself. I can’t believe I’m saying that as I am a lot like you and it’s easy to give advise and hard to take it. Find a priest you can talk to (sounds like you have ) and listen to him. They have all that training and know that as laity and new converts we often over complicate things. I was also received Easter 2018
