Let them praise Your great and awesome name He is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake! The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble Why should we ask that God be made holy? Isn’t God already holy? Yes, Psalm 99:1-5 exalts God with these words, It has the idea of “to make holy.” The noun form of this Greek word is “saints,” which means “holy ones.” Jesus is telling us to ask the Father to make Himself holy. But then I looked up the meaning of the Greek word for “hallowed” and discovered it is hagiazo. When I heard “hallowed ground” in Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, I just thought “hallow” referred to something special. But I struggled to understand the phrase “Hallowed be Your name” at the beginning of the prayer. I have discovered it is the Father who supplies all my daily needs and He does it every day. Matthew 6:9-13 (NASB) Ask That the Father Make Himself HolyĪs I have studied this prayer, I learned that it is the Father who forgives our sins since Jesus tells us to ask the Father to forgive our sins. I will read from Matthew.Īnd forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.Īnd do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil.” The prayer can be found in both Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. So I started studying this prayer and I have continued to do so ever since.
#HALLOWED BE THY NAME COVER HOW TO#
But one day I realized that Jesus used the prayer to teach His disciples how to pray. In my youth I considered the Lord’s Prayer to be nothing more than ritual as I heard the prayer repeatedly recited.
