Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.
- Romans 8:12-13

Lord Jesus, help me live according to the Spirit and not the flesh. Teach me to recognize the deeds of my old nature, and put them to death that I might live and act in the righteousness of the Spirit. Amen.
