Will you pray that God will bless me to combat my carnal nature with my full strength and that I become what he wishes me to be? Thank you.

Carnal nature often manifests because of frustrated creativity. Rather than pray for you I would advise you to find an outlet for those energies in the arts. Try painting, writing, dancing or even something along the lines of learning a new language.
The energy you perceive as negative and carnal, can be transformed by a wonderful alchemy into something very positive and constructive that can help the people around you.

That's all of our prayers, well that's my prayer. But the first thing you have to come to grips with is taht you really want to let go of that carnal nature. Lots of people say it for a moment, because they are compelled to maybe by a certain song, or a certain message preached. But to walk with God is a decision. You can't pray for somethign God has already given you. All you can do is step into. So choose ye this day who you will serve. Stand in your authority over Satan and his devices over you. Tell God today I serve you, I walk with you, I SUBMIT to Your Will and let it be manifested in my life.

Flesh cannot overcome flesh. It's a work of the Spirit and choosing to submit to the Spirit. We do need to pray that we don't fall into temptation but sometimes we also need other believers to help us in the temptations and sins that so easily entangle us. You may want to find some safe, mature believers with whom you can open up with and share your struggles with so they can help support you in your journey on the narrow road. May the GRace of our Lord be with you! And remember the Christian life isn't our responsibility to live it out. It's our response to His ability as one Bible teacher once said.

He has already blessed you in Christ with all you need. It is not your full strength that is needed but Christs. This will come as you take up your cross daily to follow Him. He must increase but you must decrease. Every bit of trial and tribulation that comes your way is a tool that Christ be formed in you. You merely have to submit to it.

It's a hard thing, man. That is one of my greatest problems. My own sins are a result of my pride more than anything else. It's not even about the sex. Of course that's a part of it, but most of it is just that I want to prove that I can have what women I want. If you are like me, in that, then maybe you should deal with the pride first.

You assume God does not like your carnal nature.
May His will be done...not ours.

No. God designed you to have normal sexual appetites to help you "go forth and multiply". Go Forth!! Enjoy your carnal nature. He wants you to.
