Hey kim! Welcome to the forums
As for your question about Jesus, repent your sins, and ask God to let Jesus in your life. Let him in, don't be shy.
As for praying, I just talk to him as I would a human. God knows us and what we need before we even pray. Praying to God is talking to him, ask for forgiveness and help to fight temptation.
I usually pray this, and then talk to him, and tell him how my life is going, also who else I'm praying for.
Father who is in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
May your kingdom come soon, and your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
I ask that you give us what we need today
And forgive me for my sins, as I have forgiven those who have sinned against me.
And to help me fight the temptations I face, and deliver me from the evil one.
And then I just talk to him, I found that prayer on the internet, I think its a good basis of what you should ask God for, though I had a similar prayer when I was younger. But david4223 has a good one too.
Ultimately I don't think it really matters as to what we say in our prayers, because God knows our heart.
Gods just happy to hear from you
