Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
—Matthew 6:9 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Teach me to keep Your Name holy—set apart to be revered in my heart and glorified through my life.
Show me how to bring honor
to Your Name—in my thoughts, words and actions—so that others would find in You the love, truth, forgiveness,
healing, peace and joy that is available to them, through the power of Your Name.
Keep me from using Your
Holy Name in vain—carelessly throwing it around, shamefully invoking it in
unholy ways and bringing dishonor to all the holy perfection that is
represented by Your Name.
But rather, help me to be
bold to speak and to act in Your Name—by faith and according to Your will—knowing
that within Your Name resides Your holy and powerful Presence, where Truth and
Grace are fully expressed by Your Love.
Teach me to keep Your Name holy—set apart to be revered in my heart and glorified through my life.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
