Perhaps I can reassure you that Bible characters were also scared in the face of God?

Moses:

4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then He said, “Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 And He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

Gideon:

22 When Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord, [a]he said, “Oh, Lord God! For I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face!” 23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace to you, do not be afraid; you shall not die.”

But that was not the end for either of these men. Moses was used of God to deliver the Israelites from Egypt and Gideon followed the Lord's direction to dismiss the Midianites from Israel.

I advise you to confess your fear to the Lord. He already knows what your fear is. Pray and tell Him that you want to accept His Gospel, but that you are afraid. May the Lord reassure you and guide you towards the truth that you need.

Perhaps it may also be wise to talk to your parents or pastor about this fear, whatever it may be.
