When ready, we say something like this:

" My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding."

Having said this, the 7th step is completed. On to step 8 and more action.
