If Jesus isn’t a perfect father (Abba) to you, He can be.  If you invite him into your life and let Him start loving and renovating your life from the inside out – He will.  He longs to be in a loving relationship with you.  Here is a suggested prayer:

Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
