"WILL YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE PERSONAL INVENTORY AND TO SET RIGHT ANY NEW MISTAKES AS YOU GO ALONG?"
If you answered yes to this question you have completed step 10 and are now ready for step 11 per http://www.aabacktobasics.com/
Step 11- Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with this Power, praying only for knowledge of His/Her will for us and the power to carry that out.
Serenity program comments about step 11.."we will probably reach a level, though, at which we hunger for an even deeper contact and communication with God" This is what I think the key is, because, in my own life it was only when I really hungered for knowledge of the mysticism and depth of God and the whole Spiritual dimension, that I seemed to experience God in many parts of my life, especially in areas concerning nature, prayer, worship and my efforts to STAY IN THE MOMENT.
-So has taking 10 steps built in you the hunger to know your God with such intensity that all else will surely pale and seem as "very small"?
-Can your focus be this God-relationship most of the time rather than yourself, your pleasures, your feelings, relationships, power, property and prestige?
-Who can honestly make this decision NOW?
-Then ask God like this: "God will You make the difference and give me the strength of character to truly put You before all things in my life?"
-Do you want this to be true?
These questions/thoughts always bring me face to face with the truth of me and my nature and ever remind me of the utmost importance of my walk with God using the 12 steps! I know I must not slack off if this work in progress (me), is to be available and valuable in any way to God and His creatures!
