Hebrews 4:16

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.

There are times when we will fall short, but God is faithful to forgive us when we come boldly to the throne and repent.  God is the God of mercy and grace, who understands our weakness and will help us through the trials.  In the time of trouble, we should be running toward God and not away from Him.
