Step Seven is freedom from running the show. ~ Heard in a meeting

Step Seven.
Humbly asked Him
to remove our shortcomings.
Freedom from running the show.
I can’t control which defects go
once I become willing to let them.
We pray that our Higher Power
remove them…not all of them,
but those that stand in the way
of my usefulness to You and my fellows.
I can’t insist God remove my impatience…
and that He do it right now!
I can’t let go of gossip because
I can’t remember any of the good stuff.
I can’t run the show. Because it’s no longer
my business to improve me. I just show up,
let go, do the next right thing, and leave control
to the Power who Can.
