Step 10: We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.        

"So if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!    

Principle 7: Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.                                        

Taking a daily inventory is simple but not always easy. The acrostic for the word TEN can show us how to start the daily inventory process. (more on this topic can be found in Lesson 19 in CR Participant Guide #4)                    

Take time to do a daily inventory
"Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord" Lamentations 3:40             

Evaluate the good and the bad parts of our day.
"If we say that we have no sins, we are only fooling ourselves, and refusing to accept the truth...we are lying and calling God a liar, for He says we have sinned" 1 John 1:8-10                

Need to admit our wrongs promptly
"This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters. If you enter your place of worship     and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and work things out with God." Matthew 5:23-24

                   

LARGE GROUP REFLECTION:       

Did the Speaker or Lesson uncover a new area that I need to take a look at?
I could relate to the Speaker or Lesson in the following ways: _____________________________.

FOR REFLECTION:          

1. Do I take time each day to connect with God, to evaluate the good and bad?
2. Am I calling an accountability partner or sponsor daily? Or do I wait until I'm in crisis?
3. Do I admit my wrongs promptly? Why or Why not.
4. How do I feel after admitting that I am wrong?
5. How has my behavior changed in the last thirty days? Am I going forward to backwards?
