Although we live in a world that idolizes self, the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer (hallowed be Your name) reorients us toward the ultimate purpose of the universe: to glorify God. While the fact that God is our Father is the foundational awareness of our prayers, the hallowing of God’s name is the foundational petition of our prayers. God’s name cannot be separated from his character and his character is that of a perfect Father. To hallow his name is to (1) take great care with how we use God’s name, (2) revere him with private and public worship, (3) ensure our beliefs about him are worthy of him, and (4) live a life that displays that he is our Father.
