To pray for God’s name to be hallowed is to pray for all people to perceive God with accuracy and reverence. One of the ways this happens is for them to see God in us. In Romans 2:24, Paul says, “the name of the Lord is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you“. If our lives can have a negative impact, isn’t a positive impact also possible? This morning, as you prepare for worship, I hope you will make the words of Horatio Bonar your own. “Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God, in every part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim Thy being and Thy ways. . .So shall no part of day or night from sacredness be free: But all my life and every step be fellowship with Thee”. I will look for you his morning as we worship God together.
