I am so weak and frustrated in my flesh. I literally feel like my carnal nature is dying day by day and it gets more painful each day. Please pray that I will trust the Lord in the fire. Amen. God bless you
Please pray that I may be strengthened in the Lord

My own will and desires. I want them to be totally abolished and have Christ character and nature living in me.

That’s a process, man, and a journey, and precious few of us get anywhere near that in our lifetimes. Yes, Christ loves you and is with you, and is helping you to become more like Him, as you trust Him, talk to Him, and follow Him. Just know that this is a very slow, humbling, bumpy journey, and that you are always on the way there, and that’s ok.

Remember not to go overboard and become like the pharisees. Who were focused on keeping a bunch of commands about this and that and neglected the most important things. Justice and mercy. Or in other words loving others. Jesus said "this is my commandment, that you love one another." Also another pitfall that is even more perilous is thinking that cutting yourself off from all the good things God has created is holiness. We are not ascetics. Everything created by God is good. Our focus in this world should be to pray much and love others and know the word of God. If we do these 3 things it do greatly to keep us from sin and deception and failure.
Praying*
God help this brother as he is trying to walk in your ways. Keep him safely on the path that is Yours. That is blessed and leads to everlasting life.

Right remember how the Lord answered the question about the greatest commandment.
Matthew 22:36-40
Also Paul amplifies this point here:
1 Corinthians 13:1
Finally, it is important to know what to expect from saving faith:
Galatians 5:22-23

Would seem the lord was talking to Jason Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Even though this was written thousands of years ago.. yet there is no time with God
so for you He did say
"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Notice your Father said "I will strengthen you".. oh love this .. IN JESUS NAME!
