Funny you should ask I was just thinking of my own experience. I prayed that God would change my mind again and let my will be His and it really helped and I was rewarded with a peace about my backsliding. Remember we are not humans having spiritual experiences we are spiritual beings having human experiences. What I mean is if you read some of David's Psalms you'll see He did this and wrote many Psalms about it. Maybe he did it many times.

Dear Jay,
"Backsliding" is a term that refers to someone who has become familiar with Bible truth but was never saved. This term is used to describe O.T. Israel, who saw the great works of God and the prophets and yet never became saved.
If you are not saved, the best thing to do is to be under the hearing of the word of God. "So then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." FAITH is a synonym for the Lord Jesus Christ. So then, Christ cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Read your Bible slowly and prayerfully, asking the Lord to have mercy on you. This will not assure that you will be saved, but if God has elected you to salvation it will put you in the correct "environment" to be saved.

Salvation is a existence lengthy procedure, not a one time element of declaring you've faith in Jesus. We ought to artwork on our salvation each and daily, with the help of holding the commandments, with the help of going to confession, with the help of repenting,in search of forgiveness for our sins,we also needs to bypass to Mass and partake of the Sacraments "because the Bible says, i'm already kept (Rom. 8:24, Eph. 2:5–8), yet I’m also being kept (a million Cor. a million:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, Phil. 2:12), and that i have the desire that i'd be kept (Rom. 5:9–10, a million Cor. 3:12–15). like the apostle Paul i'm understanding my salvation in worry and trembling (Phil. 2:12), with hopeful self belief interior the delivers of Christ (Rom. 5:2, 2 Tim. 2:11–13)."

Pray for starters. Then read Genesis 37 to the end of Genesis. Remember Joseph is the Christ metaphor in the story. He is betrayed for silver, stripped of his coat which is dipped in blood, falsely accused, becomes dead to his father and rises as savior of the known world of that day. The story is really an amazing prophecy of Christ. It always builds my faith.

Regain hope or salvation? Salvation is available to anyone who wants it at anytime before death.

Quit trusting in your feelings to start with, they'll change day to day. Put your trust in God. Children are adopted because they are wanted and loved. They'll not be disowned later.

Tell God you're sorry, ask him for more grace, and stop backsliding.
It helps to be Catholic, too.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
