2 Chronicles 30:8-9 NASB

Now do not stiffen your neck like your fathers, but yield to the Lord and enter His sanctuary which He has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, that His burning anger may turn away from you. For if you return to the Lord , your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him."

when we hear the Lord calling us back to worship Him, if we are not stubborn in our pride but humble ourselves, His grace and compassion will cover us and He will demonstrate His forgiveness. when the word of discipline of the Lord comes to us, we must die to our pride and repent and will receive forgiveness as the Lord is gracious. let me constantly check myself for pride and unrepentance.
