Opening Prayers/Prayers of Adoration on Covenant
Adapted from 1 Kings 8:23, 56-58, NRSV
O LORD, God of Israel,
there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath,
keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants
who walk before you with all their heart.
Blessed be the LORD,
who has given rest to his people Israel
according to all that he promised;
not one word has failed of all his good promise,
which he spoke through his servant Moses.
The LORD our God be with us,
as he was with our ancestors;
may he not leave us or abandon us,
but incline our hearts to him,
to walk in all his ways,
and to keep his commandments,
his statutes, and his ordinances,
which he commanded our ancestors.

Inspired by 2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16; Luke 146b-55; Psalm 89:1-4, 19-26
Eternal One,
We wonder and marvel at your constancy
You alone are steadfast
Unwavering across the ages
You, remembering, gathering a covenant people
You, remembering, fulfilling your covenant promises
You, patiently tending your family tree
You, remembering us
We remembering you and your greatness
Hallelujah to our Savior and King!
Crowned and Coming
Whose Kingdom knows no end.
