       Surrendering you life to God is a good thing, because you're taking the burden off your shoulders and putting it on his. He desperately wants to be your Father. God is not a killjoy. He doesn't just tell his children what they cannot do. His commandments are good, right, and true and are meant to protect people and allow them to live life to its fullest extent. But don't be fooled, a human can't simply have life from following God's commands. Life comes in the transforming process that occurs when you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. If God has pricked your heart today, and you want to become a Christian—you want to believe in him, then just follow my lead in this prayer: Today God I am giving my life over to you. I can't live life on my own anymore, nor do I want to you. I accept what Jesus did on the cross for my sins, and I believe he rose from the dead in order to give me, personally, a new life. Please forgive me of my sins and change my life, so that I become one of your children. Help me to make you happy, and live in such a way that pleases you. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
