Step 7

🙇 Step 7: Humble Request for Renewal

Official Wording:

“Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”

💫 What It Means

You’ve identified traits that no longer serve you—and now, you're inviting help to release them. Whether “Him” means God, spirit, inner wisdom, or the recovery process itself, this step is about:

• Surrendering with humility, not pride or shame

• Accepting that change often comes with help

• Trusting that healing is possible when you ask honestly

📿 Your Personal Prayer or Mantra

You can craft your own heartfelt request. Here’s a sample to inspire you:

“I surrender these traits—fear, resentment, control—not because I am weak, but because I am ready. I ask for the strength to change, the grace to grow, and the courage to step into my full self.”

🔥 Personalized Mantra for Step 7: A Healing Request

Choose 3–5 traits you’re ready to release (e.g., fear, resentment, isolation, control, self-pity). Then we shape them into a mantra like this:

“I humbly release fear and control. These no longer guide my path. I ask for clarity, peace, and connection to take their place. I trust the process of change. I open myself to grace.”

You can swap out the traits and virtues to match your journey. Here’s another variation:

“I surrender resentment, dishonesty, and pride. I do so not in defeat, but in strength. I ask for courage, honesty, and humility to rise within me. May I be transformed by love and wisdom.”
