Ready

The key principle is "Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects". This principle is closely tied to Step 6, which states "We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character".
The lesson emphasizes the importance of being willing to let God into every area of one's life and highlights that God is a gentleman who does not force His will on anyone but waits for individuals to invite Him in. The lesson also discusses the need for patience and understanding that change takes time, as character defects do not develop overnight and cannot be removed overnight either.
The lesson encourages individuals to list the areas of their lives that they have turned over and surrendered to Jesus Christ, as well as the areas they are still holding on to, attempting to control them on their own power. It also prompts reflection on the phrase "easy does it" and what area of recovery one might be attempting to rush, looking for a "quick fix".
Furthermore, the lesson emphasizes the importance of allowing God to replace character defects with positive changes and the need to accept and enjoy the growth that comes from recovery. It also includes a prayer for guidance and strength to deal with character defects and to be the person that God wants them to be.
