“God, please help me to honestly take stock. Help me to search out the flaws in my make-up which caused my failure.

Help me to see where resentment has plagued me and resulted in spiritual malady, but more importantly help me to understand my part in these resentments.

Help me to resolutely look for my own mistakes and to understand where I had been selfish, dishonest, self-seeking and frightened.

Please help me to be searching and fearless in my endeavor to write my inventory.”
