Evening (Constructive) Review

Eleventh Step Prayer
God, I pray to keep my connection with You open and
clear from the confusion of daily life.
Through my prayers and meditation I ask especially for
freedom from self-will, rationalization, and wishful thinking.
I pray for the guidance of correct thought and positive action.
Your will God, not mine, be done.
Amen

Constructive Review Questions
Was I resentful?
Was I afraid?
What could I have done better?
Was I selfish?
Do I owe an apology?
Was I kind and loving toward all?
Was I dishonest?
Was I thinking of myself most of the time?
Have I kept something to myself which should be discussed with another person at once?
Was I thinking of what I could do for others, of what I could pack into the stream of life?

Corrective Measures
Father, I ask your forgiveness and inquire what corrective measures should be taken.
Or…

God please forgive me for my failings today.

Guide me and direct me. Please remove my arrogance and my fear
Show me how to make my relationships right. Grant me humility and strength to do thy will
Amen
