Step Seven ~ Part 4: Questions

"Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings."

1. Identify a defect currently causing difficulty. How can I cooperate with my Higher Power as He removes that defect?

2. What do I do when a shortcoming returns?

3. Do I trust God to remove my shortcomings or do I still cling to some behaviors from fear? What do I fear would happen if I let go of this defect?

4. What are three defects where I have made progress in letting go? Identify the changes that have taken place? Has this been God's work, or mine? Why?
