This question points to a lot of issues. God forgives sin. God loves his creation.
Do you forgive yourself, and love yourself? Someone who wants to be "cured" for what they are has guilt and a poor self image. Remember there are many people who love you with unconditional love, you are not alone in this world.
You do the work it takes to understand yourself. Prayer helps, but engage real friends, not these faceless people on the Internet, in your situation and know that God will be with you all the time

Everyone has their own cross to bear. While God could cure us of all of our physical desires that go against his will for our lives, that isn't how He usually operates.
If your desires come from something in your past that you need to be healed from then God does help people that way. But when you are born with a bad temper or a predilection to alcoholism or an innate attraction to members of the same sex God tells us that his grace will be sufficient for us to overcome those tendencies and to live our lives by the power of his Spirit in a way that is pleasing to Him.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such *WERE* some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
I used to be a drunkard who drank a quart of vodka every day and a fornicator to boot. I'm not married and it isn't like I'm never tempted to engage in those old behaviors but by God's grace and the power of his Spirit I have repented of that lifestyle and make the choice not to let those sinful desires rule over my life.

If you were an alcoholic and you found God and asked him to cure you, would you stop being an alcoholic?
Or would you simply be an alcoholic that is in remission from the sin that consumed you - making a concious effort with the help and grace of God, to refrain from drinking alcohol?
Substitute the word sinner for alcoholic and see what you get.
We are all sinners who by God's grace are refraining from those things that are in us; that includes sexual sins, lying, cheating, fornication, adultery, witchcraft, idleness, the list goes on and on.
All the best! God loves you.

Homosexuality isn't a disease to be cured. It is a difficulty to be worked through. God probably won't suddenly make you heterosexual, but if you work to form strong friendships in your life, and don't act on same-sex attractions, that's all anyone could ever ask of you.

well, you can be cured of homosexuality about as much as i can be cured of heterosexuality. i suppose if you allow yourself to be made to feel ashamed and guilty, if you fill yourself with enough self loathing and deny who you are often enough you can crush the "sin" of your nature and become "normal". i don't know why anyone would chose to do such a thing to themselves, especially when there are plenty of fine gay friendly communities where one can find love and acceptance.
PS. i lived in Key West for 15 yrs and had many gay friends there, most of whom were in loving long term relationships.
move to Key West! you'd like it there.

Homosexuality isn't something you can "cure" or "heal" -- you are who you are. Instead of praying, what you should be doing is trying to accept the fact that there's nothing wrong with you, regardless of what anyone says.

You can pray, wish, hope or do nothing for the same results.
Maybe finding someone of the opposite sex will lead you to a different lifestyle.

I will fill in the blanks.
If I pray enough I will know myself and eventually I will learn
the truth about God.
Homosexuality is a personality disorder, you can get help.
Good Luck.

God loves you. You need to be willing to repent, ask Him for strength and His help, strongly desire, and get help from Christian counsellors, .
You can't just pray to stop smoking, you have to trust God and depend on Him to help you get through and take action (ie. Christian counselling, throwing away cigarettes, etc.).
