I had turned into an atheist at 14 because my malignant narcissist of a mother misused the Bible to try to coerce me into obeying her. Which I refused to do because I was sick of her tormenting me. My thoughts were if you’re a religious person I’d rather be an atheist .
I ended up being spiritually attacked by something evil and realized that if this evil thing existed then so could God. I felt this overwhelming love at that point and while I’ve had doubts about my safety and why couldn’t I seem to be around healthy people (abusive family and bad relationships) I’ve rarely doubted that God existed. I don’t think atheists are bad people or even that they’re wrong as I think God uses them to rein in toxic dysfunctional believers.

When you trust God to answer, then He will.
The secret is that he already heard your
prayer and answered it. All that is missing
is your faith in His answer. You change, then
see His answer.

I was faced with such a challenge even earlier then 14.
When I was 11 someone asked me if I was "saved"? Holy crapola! What in hell does that mean to an 11yr old?
As long as I can remember, Jesus was my "invisible friend" having learned of Him from my mother. I took Him on bike rides to show Him all the beauty I had come to recognize, before and after, having been blinded at 9. I am now sighted since 10(T'was blind but now I see)
I would also teach Him everything I was learning in school. Also George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as they had no inventory of ideas to understand things such as "lift" that I was learning. But, I thought that I should teach them such cool stuff!
I think that that charmed Jesus. Which maybe, explains the rest of my life beyond dreams! But, it was a rough start!
I AM NOT SAVED! I, as then, am being delivered constantly into the life of God's promised joy! And I will be with Him forever as His slave, friend and son that He built!
OSAS--Once a Sheep, Always a Sheep! You should all busy yourselves with how to be God's beloved sheep rather than trying to figure out if you "saved" or not!
