A man came to Jesus once and called him "Good Master". Jesus rebuked him saying that only God is good. We think of ourselves as good, but we're not, only God is good. We are born into the world, and begin as citizens of the world. Fortunately, we can become citizens of God's Kingdom. Due to God's goodness, we receive a benefit from God. We receive God's grace.
Grace is undeserved favor. We don't deserve it, but we get it anyway.
God's favor and protection is always available. It is over us like an umbrella. When we experience trouble in the world, it is because we have walked out from under God's umbrella. The umbrella remains in the same place, still available, but we have moved from under it. And we wonder why we get wet!
The umbrella is still there, if we want it. Just come back to God. Ask forgiveness, pray, get yourself back in communication with God. The umbrella will be overhead again.
