Session 10 – The Removal Business

Step 7: We humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings

“God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” Ephesians 3:20 - The Message

Topic for thought

This week we are tackling Step 7, which is all about humbly asking God to actually begin removing our character defects and shortcomings that we have spent the last week identifying. We are now voluntarily submitting to every change God wants to make in our lives.

The Issue

The purpose of Step 7 is for us to actually ask God to remove our character defects and shortcomings. He will probably do this one defect at a time rather than all in one go. He will do this in partnership with you and it will take time. We need to give him our permission and let him get on with it in his own time and way.
