God’s Name is holy in itself, and God glorifies his Name by saving fallen humanity, by building his Church, and by establishing his kingdom in this world and in the age to come.

“Hallowed” means to be treated as holy—set apart, sacred, and glorified.

Throughout the Scriptures, God is known as “Lord.”Through the Person and ministry of Jesus Christ, God is also revealed to be one God in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God’s Name reveals who he is—his nature, his character, his power, and his purposes. The Name God reveals to Moses is “I am who I am” or simply “I am” (Exodus 3:6, 14). This Name means that he alone is truly God, he is the source of his own Being, he is holy and just, and he cannot be defined by his creatures.

The first petition is “Hallowed be thy Name.”

Because God is in all places and knows all things, he hears and answers my prayers, directs my paths, and strengthens me in times of trouble.
