Husband and wife Isaac and Rebekah moved to Gerar in Genesis 26. Isaac lied to the men of Gerar by saying that Rebekah was his sister. Isaac lied because he was afraid that Rebekah's beauty would inspire them to kill her husband, so that they could have sexual relations with her.
Everyone has done many things wrong. Lying is wrong, but God forgives and is willing to change us and bless us. Genesis 26 also records that Isaac went on to sow seed and harvest 100 times as much as he planted. Isaac became so rich that people envied him. God is our friend. He's a good friend. God is for believers every day. Stay in communication and connection with Him to get up from bad behavior/situations and move forward.
Don't let your past hold you back from present and future change and blessings. A Japanese proverb says, "Fall down seven times, get up eight times."
