CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Hey Guys. I know, second prayer thread in 1 week. I just want to ask for a personal prayer. Of late, I've seen myself as coming across as more and more arrogent and selfish. I really don't want to be that person. I don't want to even apear arrogent. I guess It may come from the fact that I've never liked myself much. I feel like I have to show superior knowledge to make up for it sometimes. Ya know? Anyway, even now Im wondering if this thread is selfish in the wrong ways. XD maybe I'm overpareniod. But yeah... could you guys pray that I keep a good and humble heart?

This thread isn't selfish in the least, or I don't think so. So don't worry. Of course I'll pray for you. If this has anything to do with me snapping at you in my thread I am sorry. I just misunderstood what you where saying. I don't think you arrogent. In all honesty most of the time I don't like myself either. I can be a real witch with a b instead of a w.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA that's hilarious! (in a good way)



and yeah tg those feelings always suck i'll be sure and pray for you

I'm sorry if I've contributed to this feeling. Just so you know, I've been that way, too, and probably was a lot worse- I was the most arrogant and obnoxious little brat when I was younger.

Praying that you start feeling better about yourself, since that's what you think is the root cause of it.

But I wouldn't worry too much, arrogance tends to be a byproduct of teenagerdom, and usually starts passing by the time you hit college.

Thanks guys. Yesterday just brought up a lot of frustrations that's all. I know I'm young, I'm ignorant on a lot of things. I never EVER want people to think I'm just talking without any knowledge. I try so hard to back up all I say with facts, and not opinion. I always wonder that if I use all of my sources and try and share all that I know, that people will think I'm showing off and arrogent... In truth I'm really not! I want to provide as much proof as I can. But people many times in the past have taken me as arrogent. So upon thinking about it, maybe it's true.

I want to go into Christian Counceling and Youth Ministry, a career path that means I HAVE to let God speak through me. If I'm being arrogent and opinionated, thenI can't hear God. So I really really want to lose this. Even if it's a small seed of arrogence. I don't want this. I want to live for Christ and not my opinions.

I try so hard to listen to the other side of an argument. And if I am prooven wrong I'll almost always try and admit I was wrong. I don't ever want to be right. I WANT THE TRUTH. But obviously, I tend to not be like that a lot. and I just hope that God can help me to be humble.

ANYWAY. Sorry XD Rant mode off now.




*EDIT* and WOW Do I typo ALL of my prayer thread names? If a mod sees this can they change it to "personal" and not "person"

lol I love you bro~ <3
Just so you know, from living with you TG you havent come across as arrogent most of the time. Except on rare occasion.... but yeah. Youre awesome and you arent arrogent to me.
Of course, if you fel that you need to work on that, and if you feel thats whats needed, then I'll of course pray for you buddy.

Yeah, you aren't arrogant. And you do try to back up what you say, and that's a very good trait

Just relax a bit- sometimes it's when people try to hard that they start coming off as obnoxious.

You're doing fine, though. Seriously

i've talked to you alot in the past couple weeks. and i mean ALOT. XD you never came off as arrogant to me, and if you were, i never noticed it, or just thought that you were being silly again.

Yeah.. I'm getting the feeling God is starting to work. Because already I've been given a the same advice. My dear bff Steenajack gave me the exact same message. We'll see if God continues to tell me this. I love it when you can almost feel God giving you an answer. Thanks guys... a lot.

I haven't seen any of this, but I'll be praying anyway ^^ Try not to be so harsh on yourself and keep at it if you really think you need to work on it ^^

To be really honest, there are times when you sound arrogant, but I can tell You're not meaning to be.
I'll be praying for you

dude how old are you? i am totally the same way!

God wants a willing heart to work with, and it looks like you're willing.
Act like clay in the potter's hands.
(Wish I had a verse for you)

I'm praying for you

17 years of age. I think I'm getting better with time guys. It'll just take time. =) thanks a lot for praying for me. It means more than words can describe. Especially over an internet forum.

TG you may be arrogant sometimes, but you're also one of the kindest, loving, faithful, God loving people I've ever talked to. I think if your sis said you aren't arrogant (or are rarely) I think you aren't (she would be one of the first to tell XD). However, I know myself that people who are teens tend to be a little arrogant (I am sometimes... O_O;). I love you brother.
