Hallowed be thy name
"Hallowed by thy name"
When I say pray this phrase, I remind myself who I am praying to. The Lord is great and is to be feared. His name is Holy. Our family is going over the ten commandments, and we were very convicted by the fact that we so easily break the third commandment to not take the Lord's name in vain. We are accountable for every word that leaves our mouth. Meditating on this phrase helps me to humble myself and attempt to approach God with lowliness, sincerity and reverence. These are not things that come to me naturally, and my early brand of christianity lent itself more to a slap God on the back and say "hey God, how's it going?" kind a relationship. But I must learn, and teach, the reverence that is due to God and the fear that must accompany it.
Mat 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
