We all have doubts in our mind on whether God forgives our sins. Satan, our enemy who is consistently making plans to ruin us, tells us in our mind that he won't forgive us. And in our minds, we feel depressed. But our God is not like that; he knows what we have done and what we will do in the future. He already died for our sins on the cross, and that's how he forgave us. So do u need to feel depressed? The answer is no.
But does that mean we can continue doing a sin? Never. We must accept that we have done it and try not to repeat it. "If you hide your sins, you will not succeed. If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy(Proverbs 28:13)". Our God is forgiving God; that's why even on the cross, he Forgive the people who crucified him. If he forgave them, then he will forgive us. "Jesus said,Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing (Luke 23:34)"
One of the main reasons we are not receiving God's grace and gifts is that we block them with our sins. "So when you offer your gift to God at the altar, and you remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there at the altar. Go and make peace with him. Then come and offer your gift(Mathew 5:23)". So if you have any problems with your friends, your Neighbours forgive them. We are not going to lose anything, but we will much grace from God. Just check the story of Job in the bible. His friends accused him of a lot of things, but he never turned against God. Instead, he prayed to God for his friends, and he got everything back he lost. "After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before(Job 42:10)". So forgive others as our Jesus did and receive his wondrous blessings.
