Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
God is on Heaven’s throne and is worthy of our faith. He is an able God. We can pray on His promises.
1 John 5:14-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
God is a holy God and must be approached in fear and reverence. To truly hallow His name means that we see Him as Lord over all. When His name is hallowed we can never say, “No, Lord,” or “Not me Lord.” The only word that fits with Lord is “Yes, Lord.”
To Hallow God, we simply give to Him the honor and glory and majesty that is and has always been His. We praise Him.
When we come before Him, we need to remember that our only access to God lies in that name which is above every name --- Jesus.
