I am afraid of the punishment

For a few times I have mocked God for wanting to look "cool", but just now i realised by mistake. The bible told us about how blaspheme against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable, did i mess it up? Is there still a chance of repentance for me? I am genuinely afraid of the punishment

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit in the Bible was attributing the miracles Jesus did by the Holy Spirit to Satan. It’s a hard sin to understand, unlike murder or lieing. We know exactly what those are but I don’t think this sin is anything someone that loves God needs to worry about. It’s like attributing the work of God to the devil. But the devil has no real power and certainly isn’t going to be performing any good acts. You’d have to basically be hating God to be anywhere close to commiting this sin. The fact that you are worried about this shows that you don’t need to worry.

I wonder if God will ever use me to do his works even though I sin a lot

We all sin and we’re all a work in progress. Clay in the Potters hand. Just keep getting to know God and learning the heart of the Gospel.

I am struggling with traditional churches, should i worship alone or still go to church?

If you’re uncomfortable you can worship alone. Church is good because it gets us in fellowship with believers and allows you to easily become involved in ministry work and stuff like that. But stay home for now if that makes you more comfortable. But I also wouldn’t stop looking for somewhere where you can fit in.
