Questions about Prayer

[Gideon]

In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
(Matt 6:9)

Can we talk about this part of the Lords Prayer? Just the first sentence. I would like to suggest two principles concerning prayer. First, it is based on relationship. (Our Father ...) Second, is spoken with respect. (Hallowed ...)

Can anyone share other verses in scripture which bring out these two points? I'm doing a study on it see. 'Want to hear what others think.

You will find some of your best points in Exodus through Deuteronomy. Try blue letter bible online to do some word searches and instead of hallowed look for holy.

Good project!

As ContentInHim suggests, look up the original Greek word meaning on BlueLetterBible.org (Strong's concordance actually).

Here's the verse in the original text:

Here's the definition of hagiazo (Strong's Greek #37) the word translated as "hallowed":

And if you're still interested in looking it up in the different English translations, try the BibleGateway.com.

29 for our "God is a consuming fire."


COL 3:22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.
