Will my repentance be accepted again after I almost returned to a sin I repented from eight years ago, and does God's sparing me this time mean that He has accepted my repentance?
We ask God to grant you success in sincere repentance and uprightness. You must strive in supplication and humble entreaty to God to protect you from sins and bestow upon you sincere repentance. Seize the times when supplications are answered. Know that the intention to commit a sin and striving towards it is a sin. You must control yourself and stay away from everything that leads to sin, while being mindful of the punishment for sin and God's wrath. Among the signs of accepted repentance is that the sinner is in a better state after repentance. Therefore, your preservation from sin and your safety from falling into it may be a sign of the acceptance of your previous repentance.
