Hallowed Be Your Name: Prayer and the Reputation of God

Prayer is not about earning God’s attention or proving our devotion. It is about coming home to the Father who already welcomes us. In this message, we explore the second line of the Lord’s Prayer, “Hallowed be your name.” What does it mean to honor God’s name as holy, and why does it matter?Drawing from scripture, history, and personal story, we are invited to see prayer as both intimacy with God and participation in His mission. God’s reputation has been entrusted to His people, and through Jesus we are called to bear His name with reverence, obedience, and bold prayer.This teaching calls us to return to the heart of prayer: coming home to God, honoring His holiness, and joining Him in restoring His name in our world.
