Study, ponder, apply, and take that which you have worked out in your own mind before God with a willing and humble heart. He will confirm that which is true!

People can give advice, but will you listen?
You can start by acknowledging your transgressions, then you start your communion. Then you have to stop doing things you know to be sin, such as d r u g use, alcohol abuse, lying, stealing, backbiting, frowardness, insulting others, se xx out of wedlock. With sincere intentions you reach out to God, then if you are chosen, the Lord will reach back and save you through Christ and the Holy Spirit. Tonight you should take a long walk and possibly meditate, also use scripture as a guide. It's not easy, no one's perfect, but if you know you are not living right and you continue to sin, it's like double the failure in the Lord's eyes.

All they have to do is turn their heart to God. He's a heartbeat away. Remember parable of the prodigal son who decided to go back to his father's house and try to be hired as a servant? When the father saw him coming a long way off, he ran out to greet him. He ordered a robe for him and a ring, sandals for his feet. A feast was prepared. The son didn't even have to ask because the father was so glad to have him back.
Its the same with God the Father. He welcomes us back through Christ Jesus because there is no sin greater than His love. A person wanting to come back just needs to say, "Father forgive me and show me the way." He'll do it! He says he will. The bible says He will in no wise turn us away when we come to Him.
A person's merit doesn't even figure into this. Its His love and our contrite, repenting hearts.
Don't waste another minute.

The Bible does warn us about the danger of endlessly ignoring God and leaving Him out of our lives: "A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy" (Proverbs 29:1). These are solemn words and you should take them very seriously.
But the fact that you are concerned about your spiritual situation tells me there's still hope for you. The person in the most danger spiritually is the one who feels no need of God, and is unconcerned about his or her spiritual condition. That person's heart has become so callused and so hardened that they can no longer hear God's voice convicting them of their sin and calling them to repent and turn to Christ.
The most important thing I can tell you, however, is that God loves us and is ready to forgive anyone who truly repents and trusts Christ as their Lord and Savior. No matter what you've done, God still loves you and wants you to be part of His family forever. Jesus' words are for you: "My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life" (John 6:40).
Don't stay on your present road any longer; it will never give you the happiness and peace you seek. Instead, by a simple prayer of faith confess your sins to God and ask Christ to come into your life. Your life can be different—beginning today.

The 1st thing - know that no matter what you have done - there is forgiveness from God. 2nd - Jesus is only a prayer away. He never left you - you left Him.
Confess what you have done, and get in the Word! Get into fellowship and be accountable to other believers! Don't wait any longer to accept what plans God has for you!

If you can, get into a group of spiritual people who can help draw you back to God. Start praying and reading your bible again, of course.
Always remember that God will never leave you or forsake you. No matter how far away from him you feel, He will be there as soon as you turn around.

The bible says "For all have sinned"
You can find your way back to God...Pray, talk to God, talk to him like he is your friend...(I do) tell him, how you feel, and to guide you and to give you strength...
Read your Bible, study it...I got that new Bible called "The message" it is the bible, its just written in simple day to day english that is easy for me to understand..doing this, I have grown closer to the Lord.
Read and study Gods word, Pray and talk to God daily..Find a good church, and a Bible Study Group..
Hang out with people who have a desire to live for God...
Most of all, Live each day, one day at a time...take one day as they come, and handle each problem as they arise, whatever it may have been that set you back from God..
You may have fallen away from God, But I can promise you this, God didnt fall away from you, he has been beside you this whole entire time..
Thats the beauty of believing...
Im here if ya need me...
Hope this helps some....

The best way to get plugged into a local church. Then get to know the people there. As you develop a friendly relationship with them they can help you come back into the family. God Bless!!!

Get on your knees at an alter of repentance and ask for forgiveness. Be willing to change the way you have been living and give it all to God. Let Him lead.

Just ask Him.
2Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)
What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!
