I want to become Christian but it's proving to be difficult

I want to follow God but my whole life my parents told me all of these things like, "the bible is the greatest story ever written," and "If God is real then why do we go through torment." I genuinely want to follow the religion but it's so difficult and I always have this doubt in the back of my mind.

Hiyaaa, I've been a Christian since before I was born, and I'll tell you my knowledge through the Holy Spirit.
First thing first, the Bible is not just a story, it clearly shows how mankind repeatedly tries to run away from God, and God without fail keeps protecting us.
Second, torment is not made by God, the devil always tries to get us away from God, because he knows that if you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you, and washes your sins clean, he can't touch you anymore since you're protected by God. This guy (Cliffe Knechtle) explains it better than I do https://youtu.be/UkdJgYZYIvQ?si=7Mu9OhfyMwr_I3dt .
Third, Christianity is not a religion like most people say it is, it's a relationship with God. Religion has a system of rules and regulations (a list of Dos and Don'ts) meanwhile a relationship with God comes from the heart. It's personal and messy, like a friendship with your bestfriends. You can go to church every week without fail and still don't have a relationship with Jesus. It's like what Matthew 15:8 says "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". Through a relationship of Jesus, you will recieve the free gift that he has for you. What's the free gift you may ask? The free gift is eternal life with Him. Now, eternal life does not mean you will live in this physical world forever, it's going to heaven with Him eternally when you die.
Fourth, following Christ is no easy task, especially in the beginning. The enemy will go after you as much as possible, and it's your choice if you want to give in to the devil, or stay devoted to the Lord. If you go with the Lord, He will give you protection from the enemy.
God is a gentleman, He will not barge into you if you don't want to. Some people ask "if God exist than why don't everyone just go into heaven?" and the answer is simple, if you don't want Him when you're on earth, He will not force you to want Him, and He will seperate Himself from you eternally, which means, hell. God is banging on the door to your heart right now, it's your choice if you want to let Him in or not.
If you do want Him into your heart right now, you can pray this prayer right now
"Heavenly Father, I come into Your holy presence recognizing that I am lost in my sin. I am in need of a Savior. I accept the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ who laid down His life for me. This day I choose to believe in Him and be completely forgiven. I allow Jesus to reign as Lord of my life forever. I follow His path and enter the Gate to eternal life which is Jesus Himself. I pray that I can receive your Holy Spirit, and let the Holy fire burn through me. Thank You for drawing me to Your kingdom. Thank You that I am now and forever Your child. Amen."
Now, you might not feel anything, or you feel His love and mercy through your body, whatever happens, you've invited the Lord into your heart, and He will work through your heart if you let Him. Keep on praying everyday and reading your Bible, you will feel transformation of the Lord inside out. If you miss one day of prayer or Bible reading, it's alright, don't get discouraged or stop completely, we're looking for consistency here, not perfection. If you're able to, you can also find a local church, or find an online church service on youtube to help you in your faith. However, be careful, because there's a lot of church that's not based on the Lord's teachings even though they claim to be, so let the Holy Spirit guide you to the right church for you. If you want recommendations, I recommend City Harvest Church, it's based in Singapore, but you can watch their online livestream service on youtube.
I hope I've given insights to the faith, and you're able to feel the love and grace of God. Update me when you made the choice, and you can ask me any other questions you have about faith in the Lord and I'll try to answer it with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you very much, unfortunately, I don't have money for a bible but I go to bible study every Wednesday and Church every Sunday. I appreciate this as it makes it easier for me.
