A Prayer Thanking God for His Covenant of Peace

Promise-keeping Father,

In this world so set on strife, what a profound promise this is:

Even where there is utter chaos on this earth, 

your steadfast love shall never leave us, 

your “covenant of peace shall not be removed” (Isaiah 54:10).

We don’t use the word covenant often in our everyday conversations, 

but we should use it more when we think about you. 

Your covenant is your unwavering, unbreakable, undivided, unimaginable, and undeserved 

commitment to love us and deliver us from our worst selves, 

to give us peace with you and peace with one another. 

Why would you make such a covenant with us? 

The Bible is clear—

it’s not because we were so numerous or powerful or special—

it’s because of your steadfast love and your compassion. 

We thank you for keeping your promises to us. 

May we joyfully serve you in gratitude for your grace.

In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Read Isaiah 54:8-10; Deuteronomy 7:6-11.
