The Bible tells us that once saved always saved. Your relationship with God cannot be changed on His side, He is your Father and always will be. If you have fallen away, you need only repent and seek Him, He has never gone away from you.
Hebrews 13:5-6 "Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things that you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you,' so that we may boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'"
Read 2 Timothy 2:10-13

Confess your sins. Pray to God and ask him to guide you back to him. Read the bible and pray some more.

If you follow what God says in the bible. If you love God more than what you want and think is right. Doing the hardest thing, surrender yourself.

You try to get up and go on doing what you were before you fell, you do not stay fallen. OK, so, you have fallen. Aren´t you going to try lift yourself up?
Losing a battle, does not mean losing the war.
If Jesus Christ has left us the command to love our neighbour the same as ourselves and to forgive them so that our sins are forgiven, it means we should love ourselves as much as our neighbours so, we cannot be judges of whether our fall has been irreparable.
If God lets us live enough to realise we have fallen, He probably is giving us a chance to try and lift ourselves.
Do you think there is anyone out there who hasn´t fallen? Only God has no sin. And if He tells us to forgive one another, us who are too weak to love as much as He does, we cannot even imagine the things he could forgive us if we turned to Him, in repentance.
Do not let desesperation or resignation separate you from God. If every time, you fall you keep going back to Him with a sincere heart, He will be there. Remember, although it seems hard to pray to God, as soon as you have fallen, just do it. Do not let time slip. Pray He helps you get up and going, help you to get back to His path. Confess your fall and accept His help.
God bless you :-)

The straight truth from my perspective. I fade in and out of belief. According to many teachings being saved is taking on the name of christ and baptism. I believe this is total submersion not a sprinkle. God in my opinion encourages free will and independence. We attend church to associate and build our faith through association. Should you fade out of the scene I do not believe your put on a removal list from heaven so to speak. I dont think it is any different than if you move away from family. You may not see them as often but your stil loved and welcomed anytime. Going back? easy just do it!! I don't look down on anyone who needs to be active or pursues God. I just don't think that it is wise to be careless and think "GOD" is going to come to your rescue and solve all your problems. You have talents and made in the likeness of God with a brain! Use it! Many return to God when everything seems overwelming and they are looking for answers. I only know one thing for sure. You must be at peace with yourself and if a close relationship with God does that, then so be it. At peace encompasses living according to your belief, conscience, and morals.
Hope that helps.
I hate preachy people, they ignore thier own doctrines and judge and condem. Haven't I worshiped and done good works lord? As the condo in hell is built for them.

Oh sweetie, my heart almost broke when I read your question because I've totally been there. God doesn't care how far you've fallen away from Him, so long as you return. Sometimes He causes us to hit rock bottom, so we'll come back running to Him. As far as going to Heaven, I truly believe that the only thing that will prevent a person from going is by denying God. Once you've been saved, you're saved for life. For further encouragement, click on the link below. It tells of how God carries us through the hard times. I pray you are able to find peace and comfort through God's love.

You're never so far away that God can't reach you. Repent and sin no more. It's one thing to lay in sin, it's another to struggle with it. God knows your heart. Go to Him and seek His forgiveness.
And solely judging your pic alone, you might want to consider a different one that may not lead someone to stumble. God bless you.

The parable of the prodigal son reveals God's heart towards his people. No matter how far you have fallen his desperate desire is to welcome you back with open arms. God has never loved you any more or less than he loves you right now.

Only God can judge the heart and our intent but I always look to John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
How do you get back to God? You have made a beginning by acknowledging the problem. Just offer your heart to God in prayer and ask him to forgive you. Begin to study the scripture and work on your faith journey.

If you have offended one of your parents- you rejected all they gave you and ran away. You've been away from home for a while and now suddenly you realize how much you miss them and how much your life stinks without them- How do you go back to them after hurting them so much and after being gone for so long? You may have messed up but you are still their child.
It is the same way with God...
1. Believing in Jesus doesn't get you to heaven. THe Bible says, "the devils believe and tremble." and they certainly aren't going to heaven!
2. http://www.godssimpleplan.org/gsps-english.html
look at this site.
3. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to His mercy He saved us." We are not good to get salvation and therefore we cannot lose our salvation by being bad.
4. "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 Jn 1:9
Confess your sins. Repent, turn from your sins.
Go back to Him, He has been waiting for you because He loves you unconditionally.

Here is a story that was sent to me one day:
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly my daughter, Aspen , spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked. "The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield wipers are like God wiping our sins away." After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. "That's really good, Aspen." Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take this revelation? So I asked...
"Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?" Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: "We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
