How do I know if god still loves me and is with me considering I've strayed away from him until now, and how do I refill the emptiness I feel

I would like to start with Matthew 20:28: The Lord tells us that He will be with us always, even until the end. We may walk in a direction that we feel we left Him.. Thankfully He never leaves us. But when we end up distant from God.. the first thing we should do is turn around and face Him again. Begin to walk in His direction. Examine our life, lifestyle, life choices and discover where the errors are. We ask God for His assistance in this, but the truth is we can discover this on our own... We know right form wrong, good from evil. We can examine our life and figure out where the mistakes are and even what things we need to correct to make things better with God, ourselves and our external relationships. I also refer you to a word given in the book of 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." I believe the balance of your questions are answered in this one verse. Step one - Humble yourself, step 2 - pray, step 3 - seek God's face (or at least pray on your face to God), step 4 - turn from your wicked ways (activities you are doing or associated with that you KNOW are ungodly... only then will you hear from Heaven and have your sins forgiven of God and then that emptiness you feel will be healed. Have a blessed day my brother.
