One of the most beautiful things you will hear about repentance and returning to Allah is Sheikh Dr. Othman Al-Khamis. Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Shaddad bin Aws, may God be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The best form of seeking forgiveness is to say: ‘O God, You are my Lord, there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favor upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for no one forgives sins except You.’” He said: “Whoever says it during the day, certain of it, and dies that day before evening, he is among the people of Paradise. Whoever says it at night, certain of it, and dies before morning, he is among the people of Paradise.” (Bukhari/Hadith: 6301).
