Only trying to help?

Christian, is your desire to serve God rooted in a sense of self-importance? Consider:

Service without submission can be well-intentioned, but will be ineffective; it is often professional, paternalistic, problem solving, and wanting to do good by “sharing” from a position of superiority. The Bible deliberately pushes us into the area of discomfort, forcing us to accept a posture of submission until our pride is exposed, and our desire to be controlling is revealed.

I suspect this tendency is more common than any of us like to admit.
