I have done some awful things to the people who loved me most. I have turned my back on them and let them down. I let myself down. Will God forgive me and help me repair the damage Ive done?

God will forgive all your sins past and future, but you must own up to them. That is repenting. Tell the people you let down your sorry and sin no more. Repenting is a process that turns the bad things we do, to allow us to get right with God. But you must be sincere about not doing wrong again. You can't keep doing the same thing over and over. If you want to be saved all you have to do is tell God that you know you are a sinner and will never be perfect, but know that God sent his son Jesus to die for your sin and from this point forward you will strive to know Jesus better and live for him. The damage will be fixed when the people see a change in you. The change they see will be the holy spirit working in your life as you increase in the knowledge of Christ and the applying of what you learn. I'll be praying for you.

Sure, why not? In some aspects, I really need God to repair the damage I have done, for I dont think I can do it. He is the Most Powerful and The Most Forgiver of All. And God knows if we really want to repent and improve.
Cheers, God bless you.

God will forgive you.....if you will let Him! I've done many aweful things in my short life, and I've come to realize that no matter what I've done, God is not a cruel and tyrannical leader. He is loving, kind, and forgiving. If there is anyone on earth that would need His forgivness right now, it's me. And I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that He will love and forgive me.

God is in the business of saving. If you are sorry for your sins and confess them the Bible assures you Jesus will forgive you. There is nothing except the unpardonable sin that you can not be forgiven for. To say Jesus can not forgive you is to say sin is greater than God, and such is not the case. God knows you, all the intricate details of your existence. Call upon his name, confess your sin, open your heart to his forgiveness. He will forgive you, and also you must accept his forgiveness and forgive yourself. God will not forsake you. He loves you, you are his child. Don't carry this any longer, let your burden be lifted. He can give you the only true peace you seek.

Yes, you can be saved. God is a forgiving God. I recomend talking to the people you let down and try and fix things though and God will help you.

If someone has told you you can't be helped, they are giving you messages from the devil whether they know it or not. Satan has a vested interest(self-destruction) in making you believe that you cannot be saved. But in order to be saved, you must immediately stop sinning and ask forgiveness of God and those you have hurt. If you are thinking of carrying on in this way, beware!, you will soon be too hardened of heart to respond to God's attempts to save you. SO ACT NOW - PRAY FORGIVENESS.

Absolutly!
God knows that we fail he knows that we have done some terrible things in our lives. He also loves us and wants us to be reconciled to him.
John:3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Whosoever friend ... that means even me and you.
Paul penned 13 books of the New Testament. He once put christians to death for entertainment of the romans. When asked about sinners he called himself the "chief of these". He knew he had done terrible terrible things in his life. But.... he came to Christ and asked forgivness. And God made Paul (formerly Saul) one of the greatest evangelists of the gospel the world has ever known.
God bless you friend will be keeping you in prayer :)

God has no need to forgive you. God judges nothing that you do, so no forgiveness is necessary.
God will always help you if you are sincere and make an effort.

Yes.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved (Romans 10:9).
"For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, that any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The only unforgivable sin is rejecting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour until Judgment Day.

Believe Jesus dies for your sins, ask for forgiveness, believe you have it, and it is all fogotten. Jesus blood has the ability to wipe away every bad thing you have ever done. When you ask for forgiveness, God gives you a clean slate. Believe me...if you could see where I used to be, and where I am now. ...you would know it's true! If God can forgive me ( and He has and does) then he will forgive you too!
