Moral has these two aspects in mind:

Principle 4: Openly examine and confess my faults to myself, to God, and to someone I trust.

"Happy are the pure in heart" Matthew 5:8

Step 4: We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

"Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord" Lamentations 3:40

Make time – Set aside a special time to begin your inventory. Schedule an appointment with yourself.

"But if not, then listen to me. Keep silence and I will teach you wisdom!" (Job 33:33 LB)

Open – Open up your heart and your mind to allow the feelings that the pain of the past has blocked.

"Let me express my anguish. Let me be free to speak out of the bitterness of my soul." (Job 7:11 LB)

Rely – Rely on Jesus, your Higher Power, to give you the courage and strength this exercise requires.

"Oh, love the Lord, all of you who are his people; for the Lord protects those who are loyal to him, . . . So cheer up! Take courage if you are depending on the Lord." (Psalm 31:23–24 LB)

Analyze – Analyze your past honestly. To do this you must step out of your denial.

"The Lord gave us mind and conscience; we cannot hide from ourselves." (Proverbs 20:27 GNB)

Analyze your past honestly. To do this you must step out of your denial.

List – List both the good and the bad. Keep your inventory balanced!
