Value god more than the natural inclinations he knowingly gives us? Okay...
Yes, we must learn to value God more than our "perfectly natural" actions, because nature is not synonymous with morality in a fallen world. We are called to value God more than our desires, more than our loved ones, more than our very lives.
Yes, we must value God more than our natural inclinations. God, it must be noted, has not given anyone an inclination to sin - He does not desire anyone to sin. However, due to the fallen nature of creation, brought about by the sinful choices of free moral agents, we are not born perfect as He would have us, but with all manner of ailments and disorders, which include, unfortunately, the natural tendency toward sinful actions.
