I grew up in a religiously fanatical family also. It's extremely hard to give up those ideas.

As for asking God to change your feelings, IMHO, that one is up to us, with His help, of course. It's part of the lesson or the exercise He's given us to help create our character and increase our faith and stamina. He's given us all the resources here on earth to do that. It's up to us to find and use them. At least, that's the way it's been in MY experience.
