Look yourself in the mirror and say "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me."
That's all he needs.

Not at all!
I was afraid of saying the wrong thing too. But just say whats in your heart! Repent for your sins, tell God that you want Jesus in yoru life.
The website below is really good, as a guideline on what the Bible says about prayer, and on how to ask Jesus to come into you life.
I'm so happy for you!

Pray with a good belief, Praying to God with a good belief can establish a good connection between a person and God. As we have never seen God with our naked eye and according to a common human psychology we believe easily what we see. God likes pure heart and good belief but this does not mean that God does not listen to the prayers of a common person. He is considerate to every human and He is the only one who fulfill all our needs.

I always ask God to forgive me for my sins today and thank him for the blessings he has given to me. Then I pray about whatever concern I might have, etc. Its just a conversation in your head with God. Youll feel it in your heart when its right. Sometimes that little voice inside my head will be telling me not to worry because it will be ok, and I feel like that is God telling me he will handle it. And I dont worry about a problem anymore once I turn it over to God because I know prayer works, I have expereinced it first hand. All you have to do is trust in God....he will make a way.

however you need to. God is a personal God, he will hear you however you speak to him. Speak out loud, think the prayer to him, write it down, anything. Follow Romans 10:9-10 "if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Whenever you arent sure, turn to the Bible. its Gods written instructions for our lives. if you dont have one, get a copy! find someone to help you find a good one to get started with. make sure youget plugged into a church somewhere so you can continue to grow in Christ! anyway, i kind of got off topic. dont worry about saying the wrong thing. God just wants to hear from you, from the heart. if youre afraid of something, tell him. just dont forget that youre not just saying words, youre really talking to Someone who hears and listens and cares. He will hear your prayer no matter how you pray. Its an amazing thing, humbling really, to be able to go to the King and Creator of the world directly like that. Thats what asking Jesus to join your life is all about. Just tell him what you believe about how Jesus died and rose to forgive you, and ask him to do just that! its all about faith.
if you want more specific help, here is something you can pray:
Dear Lord, I wnt to know You personally. I am willing, with Your help, to turn from my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus who died in my place and rose again to be my Savior. Come into my life and lead me. Amen.
email or IM me for anything, k?

You can't mess up prayer. Just say what is honestly in your heart and ask for His help in finding Him.
People can tell you what they do or what they believe, but in the end, you have to decide based on what you understand God to say about the way He wants to be served and obeyed.

Jesus is truth made manifest in flesh. If you want Jesus in your heart and life, never do, nor say, nor even think (if you can help it), anything that you don't want everyone to know. Never allow yourself into a situation where lying could be an option. And never, ever, lie.
This I believe; http://homelessheart.com/testimony.htm

all you have to say is:
God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I ask you to forgive me. I believe that Jesus is your Son and that He died on the cross for my sins and that He rose on the third day. Please, Jesus, come into my life as my Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name I pray
Amen.

You just talk to him like you would anyone .He's there you just can't see him he is right there and just carry on a conversation with him like you were on the phone you can't see the person on the phone but you keep on talking that's how you talk to Jesus just talk he's waiting there is no wrong way.

have you ever called a friend to apologize about something and ask for forgiveness and asked them to please always be there for you? Its like that. There is no wrong way, or certain words you have to say. God just wants to know you want him!
