Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Humility is the central idea of Step Seven. By practicing humility we receive the strength necessary to work the steps and achieve satisfactory results. We recognize that a major portion of our lives has been devoted to fulfilling our self-centered desires. We must set aside these prideful, selfish behavior patterns and realize that humility frees our spirit. Step seven requires surrendering our will to God so that we may receive the serenity necessary to achieve the happiness we seek.
