Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:24.
Step #7: We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings
Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar,
and there remember that your brother has ought against you;
Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way;
first be reconciled to your brother,
and then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24
Step #8: We made a list of all persons we had harmed
and became willing to make amends to them all.
Step #9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible,
except when to do so would injure them or others.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness,
longsuffering; bearing with one another,
and forgiving one another,
if anyone has a complaint against another;
even as Christ forgave you,
so you also must do. Colossians 3:12-13
Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory
and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” James 4:8.
Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation
to improve our conscious contact with God
as we understood Him, praying only
for knowledge of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.
We must get the beam out of our own eye
before we can see clearly
to get the speck out of our brother’s eye. Matthew 7:3-5
Step 12. Having had a spiritual awakening
as the result of these Steps,
we tried to carry this message
to _________________ and to practice
On both parts of this comparison I utilized research fro the United Church of God Beyond Today blog.
