Hallowed Be Your Name
Abbey Ferguson
6/8/2025
This sermon emphasizes the importance of prioritizing God in our daily lives through prayer, focusing on the meaning of "hallowed be your name." Abbey explains that prayer teaches us to recognize proper priorities—placing God's name and His will at the center of our lives before anything else. By starting each day with gratitude and seeking God's presence first, we align ourselves with His purpose and keep Him as our first love, just as Revelation 2 warns us not to forsake our initial devotion. Make prayer a daily habit, not just a last resort, and intentionally invite God into every part of their routines, whether waking up, working, or spending time with family.
Furthermore, the message highlights that prayer is more about His name than our own, reflecting His reputation and power. When we pray "hallowed be your name," we acknowledge God's holiness and recognize that our prayers are rooted in His greatness and His track record of faithfulness. God's reputation is on the line with every prayer, and our lives should reflect His holiness through our words and actions. Prayer and praise are intertwined; even when circumstances seem difficult, praising God shifts our perspective and either changes our situation or transforms us. The power of worship is unique because it is a gift we give to God that He cannot give back—reminding us of His greatness and encouraging us to praise Him regardless of our feelings. Join us in trusting God's power and His reputation as we lift our voices in praise and prayer.
