Taoism and a Higher Power ?

I am struggling with step 2. Philosophical Taoism does not refer to deities. I can see my Higher Power as being the way of the natural world, living in universal harmony and going with the flow. But is steps 6, and 7, I am asked to pray to this H.P. and have my 'defects' removed. How would a Taoist approach this, I wonder. I can see awareness being a tool. When I am aware of my shortcomings I can choose healthier behaivors...but that is me doing it...not a God removing it from me. Any takes on the steps from a Taoist point of view?
