Father, hallow your name!

"Jesus is inviting us to enter into the deepest passion of God's heart; "Father, hallow your name." - pg. 33.
The gentle reminder the author gave me was refreshing.  I can't hallow God's name on earth like it is in heaven- only He can!
"On earth as it is in heaven"
Only the Father and the Son know the reality of heaven.  I do not...yet...so Jesus teaches us to pray, "Father, bring the reality of heaven to earth!
The Father can hallow His name like no one else.   An incredible clarity comes upon me when I view life through the lenses of the Father hallowing His name vs. me hallowing His name (I should say- me attempting to hallow His name).

I echo the author's opening remarks, "What a great gift Jesus has given us in the prayer!"
