Praying from Romans 6:16. Themes: Servanthood, Obedience, Sin

Dear God, help me to understand that when I present myself as a servant and obey someone, I become a servant of whomever I obey. Please guide me to choose obedience to righteousness over sin to death. May I always strive to serve you and follow your will. Amen.

Verse: Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
Romans 6:16

This is a Command. The verse commands the reader to present themselves as servants and obey someone who leads them towards righteousness rather than sin leading to death.
