Prayers based on Malachi

Malachi 1
Lord of Glory, You have spoken through Your messengers the prophets. You revealed Your love for Israel. Yet Your plans have always been great even beyond the borders of Israel. Father, You sent Your Son to be the Savior of both Jews and Gentiles. He accomplished His work as our High Priest with full integrity. He did His work perfectly. His offering was pure, for He gave Himself as a holy sacrifice. In Him there was no blemish. Now He is our great King, and His Name shall be exalted throughout the earth.

Malachi 2
Great God, we will honor Your Name. We humble ourselves under Your almighty hand. We are to be priests before You. Your priests should be different from the world. We should guard knowledge, give good instruction to one another, and follow in the way that we would teach others to go. Please forgive us, for we have corrupted Your word. Particularly within our homes we should be good examples of love and sacrificial commitment. We should seek You and serve You as we train up our children in the way that they should go. Have we spoken thoughtlessly and acted as if You do not care about justice. Have mercy on us, O Lord.

Malachi 3
Father God, You have sent Your Son as the Mediator of a New Covenant. He has provided a way for those who fear You, but He will come again to judge the wicked. We must return to You. We must be faithful with the wealth that You have given to us. We will generously support the work of Your church. We will give to the poor within our midst. Grant to us true joy in Your service. Bless us with a deeper repentance. We have committed ourselves to the way of righteousness. We will serve You.

Malachi 4
O God, the Day of Judgment is surely coming. Yet, the Sun has risen in our hearts through the coming of Jesus Christ. In Him we have the greatest blessing. You have turned our hearts back to You, our Father. He has destroyed the destruction that was coming against us. In Him we have a most secure peace and hope. Come soon, Lord Jesus!
