It is his answer to their request to be taught how to pray. The Our Father is a prayer that holds a privileged place in the life of every Christian, and rightly so! It is the only time recorded in Scripture in which Jesus Christ gives his disciples a prayer.

Psalm 103:7 He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel. We can also hallow him in our daily lives and actions. We can hallow God’s name in word, and elevate his status in our hearts and acknowledge him as the all-knowing, all-powerful and ever-present one. When Moses came down from the mountain his face glowed from the brightness of God’s glory. The scripture tells us of Enoch who walked with God and was then no more for God took him. It is possible for us to so reflect the glory of God by walking close with him that men and women will see the glory of God in us. Our actions will reflect him and in us people will see a reflection of him. So, as God’s children, if we follow his instructions and live as he has taught us to, then we hallow his name. Children can be a credit to their parents and speak volumes about their upbringing.
How can we ‘hallow his name’? Yes, we can say the words, but is there more we can do? When I see very well-behaved children, I always think their parents have brought them up well. As we hallow the name of God, we should be mindful of exactly what it is that we are saying and doing. We say words so quickly, but words can have a deep and profound meaning. We reverence his majesty we don’t use his name in vain and we consider it precious and holy. The word means ‘made holy, consecrated, greatly revered and honoured. I have been focussed on saying the Lord’s Prayer recently but keep getting stuck on the word ‘hallowed’.
