Prayer (Romans 6:1b-11)
Christ -
With You, we died to sin, and just as death no longer has dominion over You, death no longer has dominion over us.
Why then do we continue to sin and to live in the ways of death? Forgive us for not walking in the newness of life.
Just as we are united with You in Your death, we are united with You in Your resurrection.
Help us honor the fullness of our baptisms.
Help us remember that we are freed from sin, so we may become fully alive.
Baptized into Your death and resurrection, we honor the death and resurrection in our own lives.
In the name of the One who destroys sin and frees us to live, we pray.
Amen.
