Resentments (64:3) </div> <div> 2. Fears – starting with our resentment inventory, column four, question 4. (67:3) </div> <div> 3. Harms done to others – with special emphasis on sex harms.

(66:4) Realize those who wronged us were perhaps Spiritually Sick. </div> <div> 4. (67:0) Ask God [Pray] to help us show them the same tolerance, pity, and patience that </div> <div> we would cheerfully grant a sick friend. </div> <div> 5.

Help me to see that this is a sick man. Father, please show me how I can be helpful to him and save me from being angry. Lord, help me to avoid retaliation or argument.

The voice in our head tends to be grandiose, arrogant, pompous, and always selfish and self-justifying. The seven areas tend to look like this… </div> <div> Self Esteem - you will find "I" statements.(ie: "I deserve better""I want better"" I should have" "I would never" etc.) </div> <div> Pocketbook - you will also "I" statements. (ie: "I Need money", "I deserve a good Job" etc.) </div> <div> Ambition - "I want ___ for myself " statements.("I want a good future""I deserve the best") </div> <div> Personal relations - This is usually same sex relationships(non sexual relationships - family friends etc. unless you're gay) and you will find statements like "Real friends don't""real men should""women shouldn't" </div> <div> Sex relations - this is usually Opposite sex relationships(unless you are gay) and you will find statements like "She should" </div> <div> "I deserve ___ in a relationship"" I would never do ____ to my lover" </div> <div> Security - "I need" statements.("I need a car"" I need good friends") </div> <div> Pride(ego) -"should" statements.(ie:"noone should""people should not""he should""they should") </div> <div> here are a couple versions of a resentment inventory use which ever one you feel comfortable with or create your own, but be sure not to leave anything out (follow the clear-cut directions in the book) and answer all the questions.                                       <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id29.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Resentment prompt sheet"><U>Resentment prompt sheet</U></A>           <A HREF="id30.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="b2b resentment inventory"><U>b2b resentment inventory</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id31.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="jc resentment inventory"><U>j&c resentment inventory</U></A> </div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>Fear inventory</U></b> </FONT>(67:3 - 68:3) <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#800000" FACE="Arial" ><B>The Fear inventory Instructions:</b></FONT> <B>1.
