You just tell him that you need help. Tell him that you are tired of messing things up and you want him to show you how to do it right.
Then you need to be willing to do what he asks.
Love and blessings Don

It means to believe in Him and try to live according to the Divine Will. Believing and doing must go hand in hand in order to progress spiritually (see James 2:20)
You can ask Jesus into your life and be a Christian, Muslim, or Baha'i or a member of any other religion that accepts Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

It means that you understand the gospel message, that Jesus died for you and you accept His free gift of salvation.You become a believer in Christ, asking His forgiveness of sin, and you begin a daily relationship with God. He in turn places His Holy Spirit in your spirit and you are a child of the living God. That is just the start of a life long journey with Jesus. You grow and develop spiritually as the years go by.

When you ask Jesus into your life, you are asking Him to be your saviour and telling Him that you believe he is the one and only true son of God, that He lived on Earth to become the sacrifice for our sins, that He was crucified on the cross of Calvary and died, and that He rose 3 days later and now is ascended into Heaven, having completed his earthly task. You are a changed person now. You have a Saviour who loves you just as you are, and loves you so much, he took the suffering you would have had to suffer because of sin. All men sin. Christ in your life, forgives those sins.

It means that you believe that Jesus is the son of God, and Also God himself. ( hard to grasp and understand...Faith) That Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, grew up in human flesh, never sinning. (Sin is the bad things in our lives that we do, say and think) Jesus lived the perfect life and was put to death on a cross, to pay the price for our sin...took our place by going to Hell for 3 days, then he rose again on the third day. He lived for another 40 days on the earth before going to heaven seated on the right hand of God where he is waiting for us. If you believe all this he wants you to accept him as your saviour. (saved you from hell) Therefore you will want to live for Jesus in your daily life which is a life of love and learning.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

This means to completely surrender to God and to let Him lead your life. It means accepting the fact that Christ died for your sins because He loves you more than life. It is all true and free. Jesus wants you as you are. No more, No less. He loves and wantsYou as his best friend!!!

Usualy it means a person is too weak to run their own life. They have given up the difficult but rewarding path of individuality and knowledge and used their last shred of free will to blindly follow a faith that gives canned answers, empty promises and nothing concrete.
I certainly hope you posess the courage to avoid this fate.
