Hi Guys,

I wanted to share that I've had a sin problem for a very long time but I've really been stubbornly refusing to acknowledge it. I have repented and asked God for forgiveness but I'm
still posting here because i would appreciate prayer.


To start with, I've always had a introverted preoccupation with self which we all know is pride. It manifests in my thought life primarily. I also tend to be very triggered if I feel dismissed and "unrighteously" opposed. I can handle it without reacting most of the time, but I still feel that sense of outrage in my gut if I feel disrespected. It's very important to me to respect the feelings of others, so I expect that in return. I tend to feel quite irritated when people don't acknowledge or thank me when I've made a contribution to their life, even if it's just the simple contribution of providing my time, attention and feedback in a forum request. I'm able to let it go, but not without being aware of the "offender".

I ask for you to pray for God to sanctify this immaturity in me and to replace it with humility and meekness.

I always imagine that I may meet Moses in eternity someday and I will say to him.." Brother...you are a MIGHTY man amongst men a true SAINT! I would NEVER have been able to deal with all the frustrations that you encountered in the wilderness." I probably would have felt very sorry for myself.

Pray that our heavenly father would give me Moses level of meekness and patience . I really need your prayers and petitions . Please also pray against the spirit of pride because it's a huge vulnerability of mine.

Thank you for listening and for your time and energy.

:heart: I can relate in many ways. As you are learning the patience that God will surely teach you, be patient with Him, as well, and cling real tight to His grace, as it's what for me (and many) has been excruciatingly painful, but necessary, for me. Proceed at HIS pace, when He gives you the unction to.

Pride and self-will must be surrendered to Him. This is perhaps the most excruciating of all. TRUST Him in ALL of it.

Praying for you (((hug)))

Father, we are born into this world with a sin nature, a selfish nature, and into an environment with people that contribute to how we feel about ourselves, proud, low self esteem, or otherwise. May we surrender to Your "perfecting" process of shaping us after the image of Christ's character (Romans 8:29). May we learn patience as that shaping and that growth takes time. May we be mindful of consciously giving You the time to work on us, by spending time in prayer, studying/interacting/obeying Your Word, and being sensitive to how we respond to the various things that rise up daily in our lives. May we treat others as we would want them to treat us, Matthew 7:12. May we humble ourselves, James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6. May we follow the instructions of Romans 12:3; 2 Corinthians 10:12, and Galatians 5:26. May we not be puffed up in accordance with 1 Corinthians 4:6-7, and not speak evil of our brethren, James 4:11-12. May we remember 1 Corinthians 15:10, and that only in You and by You is there anything good in us at all, Philemon 6 (That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing in you in Christ). All to Your glory and praise. Amen.

Thank you very much. I'm fasting today . Right after I posted this thread , I came across a video/audio by Derek Prince called "How to humble ourselves" and he cited fasting as the proper method. So between the prayers and fasting I'm believing for a transformation :)

Amen, brother. Thank you for such consideration.

Bless you, Unfortunately I have dealt with this exact same thing and I found out the hard way that pride really do cometh before the fall.
I am praying against any bondages or strongholds of pride that comes against you, May the axe be laid to the root of pride it be cast out as far as the East is from the West. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.

I'm sorry to hear that Scotty. I pray for you as well, brother. Thank you so much for your prayers.

I guess it's an ongoing issue until it's fully purged out of us ? It can be such a subtle thing to detect especially when it's primarily occurring in the mind.
