There are so many verses in Scripture that assures us of GOD's love, forgiveness, new mercies every new day, support, faithfulness and ultimately a promise to never forsake us. GOD's love is so real, so available to you no matter how far you've backslidden, nor how hard you've stumbled.
You say: I"m backslidden
Read about the Prodigal Son in Luke 15

You say: "I've sinned too much" or "You don't know what I've done, He'll never forgive me"
God says:
Matthew 12:31
"Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
Lamentations 3:22-23
Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not. They are new s every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should s boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Luke 15:3-7
3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: 4 "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 "And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 "And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep e which was lost!' 7 "I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
There is so much more, and my suggestion is to read the Gospels carefully. Pay attention to Jesus' compassion on people, His healing of the sick and even the demon possessed! His grace is beyond our full understanding.
