Yes, God forgives all sins of the true repentent.
Pray to God for your forgiveness when confessing your sins.
I speak to God in the same manner as I write these words to you now. That is, I have a plain conversation with Him each day, usually out under the stars late at night as my family sleeps. My prayers are conversations that follow a pattern. I start every prayer with the following: "Most merciful God, not my will, but yours be done." I repeat that phrase often during my prayers. Sometimes I will do so for tens of times just to quiet my mind and make it open to hearing from my Creator.
Use the following pattern in all your prayers and you will see them answered: Adoration, Contrition, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. See the links below for more information. (acronym: ACTS)

Actually there are some good answers posted here. Yeat it must be said that the only way God can forgive you today is thru the blood of the lamb. From the time that Jesus was offered up until now no person can come to the father unless they come to him as children of God who are born again, this is a spiritual birth. Jesus Christ was and is the blood of that covenat. The jewish people have the right to be recieved by God in pray thru the first covenate. Yeat all men must be born again for Gods forgivenss. This is why Jesus was saved that both the jew and the none jew could be saved from the punishment to come and also be forgiven. Yeat with out christ none are forgiven.

Without true repentance, no.
Repentance is a change of heart and a change in behavior.
No repentance ... no forgiveness.
Both sorrow for sin and true repentance are typically required by God for the forgiveness of sins.
That's why God couldn't just forgive Adam for his sin, and forget about the whole thing.
Adam ended up a slave to Satan, and as a slave, he couldn't repent, even if he wanted to. The same is still true for all Adam's offspring, except for those who have been faithfully baptized in Christ Jesus.
Catholics have a greater advantage in dealing with the problem of sin than any other Christians, because Jesus gave the bishops of the Catholic Chruch the power to forgive sins in his name.
The bishops also delegated that authority to the priests.
Now any Catholic has the ability and the right to confess their sins and be granted absolution for all of them, so long as they can convince the priest or bishop that they are truly sorry for them, and that they truly intend to repent.
And because God has authoratively entrusted the grace of salvation to his church, this "sacrament of reconciliation" is always effective, and is always a great comfort, especially in times of crisis, or when death is imminent.
Why live life waiting and wondering, when your sins can be absolutely forgiven, without a doubt?
All this is totally biblical. The very fisrt thing Jesus did after his resurrection was give the apostles the authority to forgive sins, in his name:
Joh 20:18 Mary Magdalen cometh and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord; and these things he said to me.
Joh 20:19 Now when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be to you.
Joh 20:20 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
Joh 20:21 He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
Joh 20:22 When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
Joh 20:23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.

If you repent , you already said you regret what you did so that's a good start because you need to repent and turn around (stop doing that sin)then God will forgive you if you are showing that you mean itthat you don't want to do it again but of copuyrse you have to ask him for forgiveness and believe that he will forgiveand that he is the hearer and the answerer of prayer.

Ofcourse He will forgive...
Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
2Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Everyday I repent for things I have said, done, or thought of that was displeasing to the Lord. Read the bible for it is food for your soul and by reading you will know how much Jesus loves you.
God Bless!

He isn't God the Father for no reason; he is like a parent in many ways and of course he will forgive you if you open your heart to him.
