‘Hallowed be thy name.’ There is something here that strikes us at once. While we ordinarily bring our own needs to God in prayer before thinking of what belongs to God and His interests, the Master reverses the order. First Thy name, Thy kingdom, Thy will; then give us, lead us, deliver us. The lesson is of more importance than we think. In true worship the Father must be first and He must be everything. The sooner we learn to forget ourselves so that He may be glorified, the richer our own blessing in prayer will be. No one ever loses anything by sacrificing for the Father. This must influence all our prayer.
