Hallowed be Thy name
Here we state a truth: God’s name is holy. He alone is the holy one and everything else is dim and dull and imperfect compared to Him. Here we ask that we keep God’s name holy by living lives that reflect that holiness.
Listen to music currently playing in the room; all of the songs were curated to remind you of The Lord's Prayer. Be taken away by the music, listen to the words, pray with the singer, let the poetry and beauty of the sound capture and express your heart.
As you pray…
+ Ask for forgiveness for the times you’ve fallen short of reflecting God’s holiness.
+ Spend time in silence and awe that this God of wonders would choose to love you.
+ Give thanks for the gift of a relationship with such a God.
