Step Seven ~ Part 1: Questions

"Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings."

1. What were my shortcomings, my defects of character, identified in the previous steps?

2. How do I take this step with humility? Does this require a change in attitude on my part? Explain.

3. Is this a step I take just once or do I consider it an ongoing part of life? Why or why not?

4. Do I have a God of my understanding, a Higher Power, who will remove my shortcomings? Who, what is this Higher Power?
