Prayer based on Romans 7

Father God, we have been released from the system of the Law, for we have died to the Law through the death of Christ. Fill us now with Your Spirit, that we might pursue obedience in a new and powerful way. We hate our sin. Will we ever have victory over such a powerful enemy? We thank You that we have seen our sin more clearly through the Law, but we need stronger help that we might stop sinning. Though in our minds we have had a desire to follow the good things in Your Law, our flesh has been too strong for us. We need Christ. We need the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for Your bountiful provision. Now we humbly and earnestly beseech You that You would defeat sin in us day by day through Your presence and power at work within us.
