God isn’t here to punish us. He sent Jesus to take the punishment for us. Yes, there are always consequences of sin, whether that be internal or external, but as far as God’s concerned, he forgives us completely.
He allows us to go through the consequences of sin, but as between us and him, there’s no damage to our relationship, if we return to him, if we repent. And his anger is slow. He isn’t going to smite us because we’ve done something wrong.
The disaster that he might otherwise have sent on us for being wicked rebellious sinners, he relents of it when we come to him recognising that we are sinful people and we cannot make ourselves righteous in our own efforts. God has done it all for us through the work of Jesus Christ.
So if you are feeling that guilt, that wretchedness, my friend, just come to him with your heart outstretched, and say, Lord, I love you and I thank you for your forgiveness.
