""Come now, let us argue this out," says the Lord. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool."
Isaiah 1:18 NLT
"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT
One has to come to the Lord with an honest to goodness, sincere repentance and ask forgiveness from the Father. When He sees that your heart and intentions are all pure He will restore the broken relationship and then forgive. Blessings will then and God's loving embrace will again be felt.

Like Dominoes
"Have you ever felt as though the problems in your life were like a series of dominoes? One domino falls down, and it sets off a chain reaction that knocks down the rest of the dominoes. David felt that his problems were going from bad to worse—his enemies had surrounded him, waiting for his ultimate demise. David could see no way out. But even in his despair, he knew there was one whom he could always trust to help him. He turned to God, confessed his sins, asked for forgiveness, and pleaded for mercy.
When we are separated from God because of our sins, we need to repent and ask for forgiveness. Then, with a clean heart, we can come before him and ask for help. He will hear and answer us "for the honor of his name."
Being separated from God would lead you to no where, its actually one wrong decision or option to take, because no matter how one hard to try to turn his back from the Lord, the more one realize how much we needed Him, with all these things happening around. Truly its like the chain reaction of dominoes, life seems not doing well - the more we shut out our need from Him the more we need Him. Challenges in life and even sinfulness would lead us more closer to Him, we cannot go on without Him, we need Him and even you don't want to, He will just be around simply because He love us so much. You may turn your back from Him, but He will never turn His from us.
Dear God, for the honor of your name, please forgive my many, many sins and have mercy on me. Pardon me for turning my back on you...the more I move a way...the more I realize how much I needed You my Lord and my God. Amen.
