Then how would God show forgiveness towards me and welcome me back?

In moments of crisis, we might turn away from God, feeling abandoned or frustrated. God knows how quickly a difficult situation can bring our deepest fears and weaknesses to the forefront. Then, before we know it, we’re trying to put it all on God and turn away from him just when we need him most.
