I ASK GOD TO DECIDE:
“I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows.”
– ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, page 76 –
Having admitted my powerlessness and made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God, as I understand Him, I don’t decide which defects get removed, or the order in which defects get removed, or the time frame in which they get removed. I ask God to decide which defects stand in the way of my usefulness to Him and to others, and then I humbly ask Him to remove them.
