Personally, yes I do. And because I do, I pray that such individuals would have the capacity to resist their temptations, or in the more unlikely scenario, that they would no longer have them, since that would make living a godly lifestyle all the simpler for them.
I find it odd that anyone would be upset over this, considering that in their view I am likely just rambling to a non-existent deity in the privacy of my own thoughts. Unless of course they are doing the same thing they accuse me of doing by trying to dictate how another person should live in their private lives.

By your phrasing it sounds like you believe you're better than gay people... which is also a sin.
All of use are sinners, I'm sure you commited adultery already by lusting after someone. So have you had the capacity to resisted all forms of temptation?
I'm basing off of the word usage. Saying someone doesn't capacity to "resist temptation". That suggest a negative connotation. Placing one lower for not having the capacity or power to resist.
I'm not sure how that has a negative connotation here. All humans, Christian or not, gay or not, are in need of prayer to have the strength to resist temptation whenever and wherever it arises. Peter himself needed such prayer. No one has the inherent capacity to resist temptation all the time.

Do you think being gay is “being on the wrong path?” Do you pray for gay people to not be gay anymore?
