Keep reading 10 minutes every day in a quiet, undisturbed place.
What you have been faithful to read, God will bring to remembrance as it relates to your daily life.
And expect God to speak to you right when you are reading, too.
Are you born again? If not, we need to get you directed right to the scriptures that you need to hear right now.

Back sliding doesn't always mean one has lost their salvation.
In your previous relationship with Christ, do you consider that to have been the result of being born again?
You need to know if this separation from Christ you are experiencing is because you do not know him, or because you have become estranged from him.

The internet is hardly a place to fully understand each other, but I'd say you are being called to commit your life to the God who showed himself to you when you were young. Perhaps it's time to be born again. That is the move you need to make here I'm guessing.

The conviction of sin is how God speaks to mankind.

Excellent.probably you are right i have a strong need to go to church again (but still afraid to go there)
You sound like you are in the right humble frame of mind to receive Christ.

Our sin is what separates us from fellowship with God.
Being born again means having that sin guilt washed away through God forgiving those sins.
Then God comes into you by the Holy Spirit and lives with you and you enjoy his company and fellowship and help from that moment onward. You will be at peace with him. You will know him, and he will know you.

You don't need to go to church to be born again. That can happen right here, right now.

Being born again is becoming a new person. It only has to happen one time. From then on God is always in you by his Holy Spirit crafting you into the righteous image of his Son, Jesus, not holding our sins against us anymore.
How we get born again is we admit to God that we are lost in our sins and are justly separated from him because of that sin and when we die we will have no part of him, but that we truly do want to be with him. God in his mercy will forgive your sin and bring you to himself and love you and embrace you as his very own. You will be changed. You will become a new person. You will become born again. Do you want to do that? A simple prayer between you and God like this is all it takes:
"‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’" (Luke 18:13 NASB)
Mine kinda went like this: "God, I know I have no part of you when I die, and I can't do anything about it. I can't stop sinning. Please forgive my sin. I want to be with you."
He answered and came into my life and I was a new creation from that moment on, filled with the peace and reconciliation with God that I longed for. I no longer felt guilty for my sins and I knew God accepted me and understood the predicament I was in being separated from him with nothing able to be done about it. His forgiveness was the way for me to be brought near to him.

Next comes water baptism where you tell the whole world you've been born again.
This simple witness will open up the door for you to have future power to be a witness to the world of what God has done for you.
If we had a tub of water here, we'd be baptizing you at the same time you're asking God into your life. But you can do that at the earliest opportunity, when you get connected with a church. The sooner the better.

I'll be back later if you want to talk some more.
There are many of us here who have done these very things. They will be happy to talk about this with you.
