Yes I really want to go back to Jesus Christ but I have a problem that only the prayers of the saint can solve
I would encourage you to become that Saint! I was listening to two sisters talk in an Assembly of God church and they heard a word of prophecy stating that in the last days the people were going to have to, "Cut their own paths." Even though I was not part in the conversation I just knew it was meant for these ears to have heard those words!

To find your answer, you must break down the situation to its root problem.

"Am afraid of hell because am very sick"

You have a fear, what is the fear?

There is a Bible verse which says this,

"...a bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick (which means a flickering candle) he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory" Matt 12:20

For people which feel like they're fragile and really all of us are without God but he's wanting to strengthen and encourage. A flickering candle where the flame looks like it's going out he wants to restore and give it a flame or excitement for God which is strong and sure.
God also says to us,

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

Many things could be said about how to walk in God's love and victory but for this one response just know this...God loves you and wants to see you helped and strengthened. Be encouraged. :wave:

Well, He never left you. So it is up to you to open yourself to Him who awaits. Be filled with His Holy Spirit.

Can I trust God with mind only am really afraid of his wrath

When you have nothing else, yes, that would be a good place to start.

I'm very sorry you are feeling this way, and though I admit its not something I can relate to personally, I can understand what you are saying, and it must be an awful feeling.

I really want to go back to God and his Jesus Christ but I have a problem that I don't know how to resolve only prayers of the saint can resolve it

Is that problem you dont know how to resolve the one you already mentioned, or is there something else we might be able to help with?

What sin could you ever commit that would stop our Lord from loving you?
Our God is Love (1 John 4:16) so loving is His very nature. He loves you, both perfectly and unconditionally. There is nothing you can do to make Him love you more, and there is nothing you can do to make Him love you less.
He gives us the freedom to choose whether we want to love Him or not, and your post clearly states you have made the right choice.
Stop worrying about hell, and start thinking about heaven. Focus on that beautiful mansion the Lord has prepared for you, the wondrous banquet, and the total joy and rapture that awaits you. I look forward to meeting you there and giving you a big hug!
Until that great day, enjoy life in all its fullness. Jesus gave us life so we may have it abundantly (John 10:10).
May I make a suggestion?
Stop striving in your prayers. Stop struggling to be accepted and stop wrestling to be loved. You are already cherished by Him and you are already accepted, fully and unconditionally. I think you already understand this but you need to accept it more fully. Start thanking him for what he has done, and for what he is doing, in your life. The scriptures teach us to "enter his gates with thanksgiving" (Psalms 100:4) and by doing so we will rejoice that He has made us glad (Psalms 92:4). When we tell someone we appreciate what they do for us, their hearts are touched and moved by their love for us. And that is the case with our heavenly father. When we tell him we love him, appreciate him, and thank him for what he has done, his heart is stirred and quickened. Just like the prodigal returning home to the welcome party that was prepared for him. Just like the sheep carried home upon the good shepherd's shoulders. When we say to our heavenly father, I choose you and want to be home with you, we are welcomed tenderly and rejoicingly. The Lord rejoices over us with songs of singing. The angels are rejoicing over us and the whole company of heaven is erupting into joy. However many times we have found ourselves lost, when we return, there is always solace, comfort, forgiveness, welcome and perfect hospitality. Every time and without exception. Our Lord welcomes you with total forgiveness, acceptance and joy.

Do you know why you might feel the way you do? Did something happen in your life to make you go cold towards God?

He is waiting for you right now. He is sad you are gone from him, and he wants you back as badly as you want to come back, but he will not force you. All you need to do is tell him you are sorry for the sin and you will try to do better.

People do what you did all the time, God understands, and he is willing to give you as many chances as you need. Just tell him you are sorry, to forgive you and you will try not to sin, but if you do, you will just ask fogiveness again.

You only need to try your best, just like a parent expects of their child.

You state your heart is no longer active, but also you also have the desire to repent. Therefore the desire to repent must be coming from your heart. How can it be any other way?
Repentance has less to do with our emotions and how we feel, and more to do with our motivations and actions.
However you are feeling right now, commit yourself to the Lord anyway. He will always welcome and accept you. It's not because you, me or anyone else is "good enough". It is because the Lord Himself is good and offers us his bountiful love and grace.

Hello James,

have you heard David says this :

For when I KEPT SILENT, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. -Psalms 32:3

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah ( Pause to reflect ) -Psalms 32:4


When David kept silent or in other words, he didn’t pray, — he felt his life wasted away with groaning all day long ! Don’t we once felt the same way ?


Whose hand was heavy upon David ? It is God’s hand !!


David related his spiritual experience, that is, his strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. In other words, his strength was dried by the heat of God’s wrath.


What did David did then ? What David has done what was right ?


The answer is also in psalms 32.

This is what David has said :


I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.Selah ( Pause to reflect ) Psalms 32:5


Right after, David confessed his transgressions—- David trust that God forgives the iniquity of his sin !


How can David trust like that ?


This is what David heard :

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, BUT steadfast love surrounds the one who TRUSTS in the LORD. -Psalms 32:10


David understand this spiritual truth that the one who trust in the steadfast of the Lord will be surrounded by the steadfast love of the Lord !


That is why it is written:

Therefore let EVERYONE who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of GREAT WATERS, they shall not reach him. -Psalms 32:6


Are you doubting yourself whether you are godly ? please understand the spiritual conditions that David was in when David kept silent or didn’t pray ! Compare that to ourselves! We were just like David when we kept silent and didn’t pray !


David, eventually prayed, so we should pray that prayer, too and believe that God forgives the iniquity of our sins.


Then we remember the promise that is written:

surely in the rush of GREAT WATERS, they shall not reach him. -Psalms 32:6


What are these great waters spoken about ?


When I meditate God’s word, I eventually find the answer in the following verse:


You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from TROUBLE; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah -Psalms 32:7


I understand that surely in the rush of GREAT WATERS OF TROUBLE, THESE TROUBLES shall not reach me. If these troubles shall not reach David and me, so you can, too.


Why and how these troubles can reach ?

Why ? It is because David and I believe that God is a hiding place for us.

How ? God surrounds us with shouts of deliverance or songs of deliverance; in other words, when I am discouraged, I sing praises or song of worship to God for His faithfulness.

Then this promise is fulfilled:


to grant to those who mourn in Zion' to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. -Isaiah 61:3


are you not mourning and want to be in God’s presence ? Therefore, wear the garment of praise to God then the evil spirit of despair will flee from you. Why ? It is because you lift up high His name and His name has power over the enemy.


what God have said to David in this spiritual experience or what God answers:


I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you with My eye upon you. -Psalms 32:8

Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. -Psalms 32:9

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. -Psalms 32:10

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! -Psalms 32:11


Are you willing that the Holy Spirit instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go ?

Will you allow Holy Spirit to counsel you with His eye upon you ?


If yes, then trust in the steadfast love of the Lord then His steadfast love will surround you.


Keep this counsel of the Lord always in your mind:


I who trust in the steadfast love of the Lord will be surrounded by His steadfast love. Amen


The Lord, Holy Spirit will teach you in the way to go, that is, to be glad in the Lord and to rejoice as you know how the Lord Jesus Christ redeem you and teach you to gain His strength to shout for joy as you learn how the Holy Spirit gives you an upright heart.
