This past Sunday, we continued on in our Romans series, where Riley preached on Romans 6:12-14 on pursuing newness of life as a result of our union with Christ.

Here is a prayer, shared by Rachel Pettett, to help us in this pursuit as we fight to present our members to God as instruments for righteousness.

“O Lord, come quickly and reign on your throne, for now often something rises up within me, and tries to take possession of your throne: pride, covetousness, uncleanness, and sloth want to be my kings, and then evil-speaking, anger, hatred, fear, and the whole train of vices join with me in warring against myself, and try to reign over me. I resist them; I cry out against them, and say, “I have no other king than Christ.” O King of peace, come and reign in me, for I will have no king but you!
Amen.”

(Bernard of Clairvaux)
