You have to pray and admit that you are a sinner and say that you believe that he is the true and almighty God that can save you from going to hell. You have to ask him to be your savior and to please come into your heart and save you. When you are done praying you have to say In Jesus' name I pray Amen. Hope that helps!
I would start by reading (out loud if possible) the book of John in the Bible. It ushers you in to who God actually is. Then do as the Word says in Romans 10:9-10 'For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right by God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved.'
It doesn't have to be this lengthy, wordy prayer but what your heart tells you to say. A simple, "Father, forgive me. I am a sinner and believe Jesus died on the cross for me. I give you my life. Lead, guide, and direct me in all your ways", works just fine.
We do not have to get in the presence of God, God is everpresent. God is in you, in me, God is in everything, everywhere, all the time. What stops us from realizing the presence of God? Our own ignorance. What do we need to do? We need to drop our ignorance. It is well explained when we look at a sculpture. In trying to create a statue from a piece of rock, it is said that the statue is already inside the rock. What does the sculptor do? He just chips away the unnecessary parts, that part of stone that hides the statue within the piece of rock. So is God everywhere, unfortunately, we are enveloped with the darkness of ignorance. Therefore, we do not feel the presence of God. When we drop the ignorance, our ego, our false beliefs, then we will realize God all the time.
