Ok so I've been baptized for about 8 years now I never received the holy ghost I think because I was so young and didn't understand I honestly don't know. I'm not close with God and yes I've prayed about it but I feel my sins have kept me from him. Sins like Cheating a lot, lying, terrible lustful ways, sex outside of marriage just things that I know and was taught were wrong and Ive asked for forgiveness plenty of times but I don't know how to stop. Its gotten to the point that I don't go to church I refuse to pray because I feel like such a hypocrite but I want to have that love and trust that everyone has with the Lord but I just don't . Also a couple months ago I was having suicidal thoughts and years before I asked him to help me with me suicidal thought and I ended up in the physic ward at the hospital I blamed him. I find it hard to talk to God I feel like all he sees is lies coming from my mouth .I want to change I want that close relationship with him I just don't know what to do. Please Help

Perhaps if you saw clearly first hand the consequences of your sin, you would be less likely to continue in them much. I sense that you have slaved yourself to worldly pleasures to fill a void, an emptiness in you. This emptiness cannot be filled by those pleasures for more than a short time at the most, and will just keep you feeling more empty and depressed. Glad to pray for you, can you talk to a pastor about this; regardless of any embarrassment, the truth coming out will help your situation. It might cause a lot of pain and suffering, but you are only postponing that pain and suffering in both yourself and others. Secrets and lies will always catch up eventually and be made known. The sooner you come clean, the sooner you can feel better about yourself, regardless of the outcome.
Greetings,
May I suggest that you stop looking back?
Let us thank the LORD that He doesn't look back from the Cross.
Seriously, STOP looking back. Get some hope into you and if you don't have hope now then make it a priority to get it. The LORD is our Hope. Look to Him and not your sin.
Stop looking back.
Bless you ....><>
Psalm 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in Thee.
Psalm 62:5-8 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defence; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise Thee more and more.
