I get offended when people tell me they'll pray for me when I'm going through rough times.
I am fully aware though that my view will be highly controversial, if not regarded as the act of the devil.
But really, I get offended.
I'd like to think of myself as someone who reached what I reached, gone through life, became who I am, because of my own conscious effort to be like this. I studied and worked my ass off. I'm strong. I can get past through anything on my own conscious drive to do so and with the support of people around me.
But don't pray for me. Doing so makes me feel and think that I am not in control of things, or my emotions that I'd need an external, sort of magical force to get me through whatever it is someone is praying for me for.
