Be Exalted, Our God and Deliverer

Romans 7:19-8:2
"For the good that I want, I do not do, 
but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 
But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, 
I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 
I find then the principle that evil is present within me, 
the one who wants to do good.
For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, 
but I see a different law in the members of my body,
waging war against the law of my mind 
and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. 
Wretched man that I am! 
Who will set me free from the body of this death? 

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! 
So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God,
but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin. 
Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 
has set us free from the law of sin and death." 

Father,
Forgive our habitual tendencies.
You have established us to live in the victory of Romans 8,
yet we flounder in sin cycles of Romans 7.
We confessed that only Jesus could accomplish our salvation,
            yet live as though we can handle things from here.
We confessed that our works could not justify,
            yet live as though they should satisfy.
We confessed that the Law had no power to produce righteousness,
            yet live as though it can produce holiness. 

Teach us the nature of your grace. 
May it astound us. May it woo us.
May it cause us to confess you as you truly are. 

Be exalted, our God and Deliverer
