Step 4: “Turn away from your sins; shake off the chains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the rock of your salvation” (2Nephi 9:45).

By Raul

Write about the resistance you feel when you think about being completely honest about your past.

I have been writing and typing my inventory. I did a chronological history of my addictive behavior. As I did that, I highlighted specific events I want to bring up when meeting with my bishop. I also followed Nate’s template for fears and resentments. I am currently praying to make sure I have everything. (Perhaps it’s the perfectionist kicking in, but I want this inventory to be comprehensive.)

I have resentments against some family members, church leaders, and other acquaintances.

I have fears ranging from ridiculous and unfounded to seriously hindered by addictive thinking.

I am happy to report that I don’t feel resistance to revisit my past. I want to do the will of God–whatever it takes–and I know that whatever He asks would make feel peace in the long run. I trust Him.
