Here is my step 7 prayer........
I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. 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. I humbly ask you to remove my shortcomings. Where I have the desire to control, I ask that you replace it with the willingness to let go and let God. Where I have high expectations of myself and others, I ask you to replace it with acceptance. Where I wrongfully depend on others for my self-esteem I ask you to replace it with dependency on you. Where I desire to people please I ask you to replace it with a desire to be true to myself. Where I condemn myself, please replace it with self-acceptance. Where I have lack of trust in You, I beg you to replace it with Faith. Where I lack acceptance, let me accept. Where I expect perfectionism, let me be accepting and tolerant. Where I am selfish, let me be generous and allow freedom of spirit. Where I lack boundaries, let me demonstrate healthy boundaries. Where I manipulate, let me accept and let go and let God. Where I am jealous and envious, let me be loving, accepting, and demonstrate generosity of spirit. Where I am dishonest, replace it with honesty. Where I fear abandonment, replace it with Faith. Where I lack tolerance, replace it with acceptance, and a loving generosity of spirit. Where I am not living in the present, let me enjoy and dwell in the moment. Where I isolate and withhold, let me live in the spirit of fellowship. Where I judge and criticize, let me be loving and accepting. Where I show self-importance let me be self-accepting and humble. Where I am impatient, let me be patient. Where I fear intimacy and lack trust let me be faithful and open. Where I demonstrate fear and lack of courage let me be courageous and show Faith. Where I am self-seeking, let me be trustful of You. Where I have false pride, let me be humble and accepting. Where I am in denial, let me be honest. Where I am greedy and gluttonous, let me be generous. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen.

That was lovely. I pray that God will grant your prayers. I especially liked the one about depending on God and not other people for your self worth. God bless
