Almighty, Sovereign God, You are the God of the ages. You protected the faith of Your people through a remnant of believers throughout a four-hundred-year period of silence from heaven. You did not speak from Malachi until John the Baptizer came forth to make a way for Jesus, yet Your people fervently prayed for the Messiah to come. Four centuries of prayers, and we balk at four years of entreating for our causes. There is no God like You. We come to thank You for granting salvation through Jesus in his powerful name and authority, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, With the statutes and judgments.” (Malachi 4:4 NKJV)
