God knows what we want and what we need. But, like the man in the scripture, we have to ask for what we want and need. Humility and an act of faith are all it takes. As in step #5, we need to voice our resentments and our character defects, not because God doesn't already know but because we need to be humble enough to do the act. Good post BC.
