Seventh Step: We Humbly Ask

“We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.”

As it says in the NA Daily Meditation, Just for Today: “Why do we call them ‘shortcomings’? Perhaps they should be called ‘long-goings…’” Maybe by the time we’ve reached this step, we have yet to be rid of these, “long-goings.” We still act out, we still get angry, and we’re still full of fear and resentments.
