Negative prevent desecration of Name, positive his character and being glorified and made famous! By the sanctification of this name is understood the manifestation of the glory of God, as is fitting to His most holy majesty.
First four peitions pursuit of good, last two the removal of evil. Greatest good we are to pursue is glory of God desired!
3 Him, 3 petitions: his glory, -, his goal, and his program for us (v. 2c-e). We pray “hallowed be Your name” and so lift up his glory in himself, in his perfect holiness. We pray “Your kingdom come,” that his rule may be advanced through Jesus’s victory in our personal lives and in the life of the church and world. We pray “Your will be done” because it is of first importance that his holy law and gospel grace be applied in this world and in our lives. Accordingly, we adore him, affirm his goals, and agree with his will being done “on earth as it is in heaven.”

JI Packer - left to ourselves, like pagan prayer - begin and end with us.. BUT which is the biggest and most basic request of the whole prayer. Understand it and make it your own, and you have unlocked the secret of both prayer and life.
ONly - all life to God’s glory when equally for daily creational things and redemptive things = beauty, sex, nature, children, arts, crafts, food, games, no less than theology and church things = attitude of gratitude in good in creation; PLUS FULLNESS OF EVERY PART OF SALVATION>.. NOT JUST THIS BUT ALSO PROVIDENCE< ordering of all things for his poeople good, = not hnour God if we live as i he has lost contorl ie. Elder Brothers problem…
= hallow by gratitude, lack of gratitude is root cause of falling away from God
= to esteem = fear of the LORD
The old term of respect, “God-fearing” (rarely used today, perhaps because there are few to whom it would apply), normally carried the implication of good sense and mature humanity as well as that of godliness, and thus reflected our fathers’ awareness that the two go together; true reverence for God’s name leads to true wisdom, realistic and shrewd, and when Christians appear goofy and shallow one has to ask whether they have yet learned what the hallowing of God’s name means.

Praying the Lord’s Prayer A Sense of Direction
is Psalm 111. “Praise the LORD.… Great are the works of the LORD … full of splendor and majesty … faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy … he has commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and awesome is his name!” And then, “The fear of the LORD [the response of praise for God’s works and words, which the psalm has been voicing] is the beginning of wisdom” (discernment of the way to live).

THis means, walk w God not pain, but give oneself to hallowing God’s name as one’s life-task means that living, though never a joyride, will become increasingly a joy road. Can you believe that? Well, the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Try it, and you will see.

Also a prayer of confession, I don’t know you or your name as I oguht, don’t hallow, by life… = would have been praying for this if really saw my need for this… even more Your HOly Name, Word, REligion is so blasphemed in doctrine and living by many in this COUNTRY!

But with hope, since I see thy wonderful goodness, which you will undoubtedly give unto me - sanctification and holiness = certain receive it even tonight - give HOly SPirit to show our ignorance, pervesity, carelessness to honour you.
A) Short suppications, cut in half and one fire in them iddle, every thing we pray pursued with great zeal and affection
Chief concern is the abundance of the heart, by which the mouth ought to speak = no vain repetitions...
TI - A Sketch of the Christian’s Catechism
Calvin’s first rule is REVERENCE:
Of course bring all our worries, concerns, but GET RID OF all alien and outside cares, by which the mind, itself a qanderer, is born about hither and thither, drawn away from heaven and pressed down to earth!
YOu are having converse with heaven! “For nothing is more contrary to reverence for God than the levity that marks an excess of frivolity utterly devoid of awe. In this matter, the harder we find concentration to be, the more strenuously we ought to labor after it.
i.e. saying JUST want…
=
“Let us therefore realize that the only persons who duly and properly gird themselves to pray are those who are so moved by God’s majesty that freed from earthly cares and affections they come to it. And the
ie. raise hands = rite of raising the hands means that men remember they are far removed from God unless they raise their thoughts on high. As it is also said in the psalm: “To thee… I have lifted up my soul” [; cf. 24:1].
Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh = We cannot live a life of prayer, we cannot go ahead Godwards, unless we are free from possession in order to have two hands to offer and a heart absolutely open - not like a purse which we are raid of keeping open because our money will drop out of it, but like an open and empty purse - and an intelligence completely open to the unknown and the unexpected. This is the way in which we are rich and yet totally free from richness.

This is the way in which we are rich and yet totally free from richness.
When, for example, we pray that “his name be sanctified” [; ], we should, so to speak, eagerly hunger and thirst after that sanctification. . . .
Up Up and Away = lift up prayer … … in order that those who wish God to hear them may not settle down “on their lees” [cf. :n; ]. In si , so that we apply our minds and efforts zealously to prayer. Mind stoutly wrestling with difficulties rises above them!
B) Desire with the first and greatest affection the things that pertain to God’s glory = why first petition

Difference between true prayer and hypocritical/vain prayer = ture prayer INVOKES God on account of who He is in HImself, and the also seeks own happiness in Him, vs. vain prayer - seek the only true God when they are urged by their own individual and private necessities (not foremost on account of Him)
ie. Blessed be your name , when the world’s all as it shouldbe, found in desert place - blessed be the name, though he slay me, yet will I praise Him!

C) Not just try harder to honour God in all, The sanctification or glorification of the divine name hangs on His own gift and kindness. = taught to seek FROM GOD the sanctifcation of his own name

TA - Rester, Todd M.
The direction, the leading, and the grace of the Spirit of God accomplishes this - as illuminated and taught by Word - undertand our duty - but carries it out within us = sanctification and ustification based on this grace and unioin with Christ!

All the duties we offer to God, are gifts from God = God is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, in every spiritual communion we hvae from Him. “ In the first place He forgives those sins to us, then He gives the grace of both desiring well and accomplishing well, and afterwards He crowns His own particular gifts in us.”
=the SUBJECT is God, the object is His Glory! = He does the Hallowing!

= Bradford, things kwon and discerned from others by name, best known by Holy Word, Especially promises of grace, - in thy favour for Jesus sake = praise for goodness in Christ , = if you know God in Christ - can’t but magnify and praise Him according to His name = hallow/sanctify.

If know God in Christ, can’t but sanctify you = by true faith love fear and spiritual service = HONOUR to THEE- so also in holiness and godly conversation
= the chief and principal wish and desire of God’s children = You in Chirst might be truly known and honoured both by us and others, both inwardly and outwardly = desire, like last commandment only through prayer!
D) It is the greatest benefit of God towards us when we see that His name is sanctified.
TI - A Sketch of the Christian’s Catechism
thy name--God's name means "Himself as revealed and manifested." Everywhere in Scripture God defines and marks off the faith and love and reverence and obedience He will have from men by the disclosures which He makes to them of what He is; both to shut out false conceptions of Him, and to make all their devotion take the shape and hue of His own teaching. Too much attention cannot be paid to this.
AU - Ames, William
When God’s name is glorified in our lives, there is always a result of benefit and edification of God’s children, who in some way are made participants in His glory!
God considers us his very own when we are made instruments of the sanct and glorification of His name

Our prayer and worship: Just because the distinction between holy and common space has been abolished in the death of Christ (thus it is okay to meet in the basement of a children’s museum, as my church did, or a Roman catacomb, as some early Christians did), that does not mean we can approach God in private prayer or in corporate worship with carelessness and with a carefree attitude. The end of talks about this. After explaining how we have come into a new covenant through Christ’s blood, the author does not then say, “Therefore let us offer to God causal and lighthearted worship because you know God is so like way cool.” Rather he writes, “[T]hus let us offer to God acceptable worship [which means that some worship is not acceptable], with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire”—
completely holy . He is holy, holy, holy, and we ought never to treat him otherwise.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
for our God is a consuming fire.

ie. Shakespeare in the park Their warning sticker should have read: “Warning: God’s name will be taken in vain. This play is thus not suitable for children or adults. This play is not suitable for anyone who hallows God’s name.” God’s name is holy, and we are to regard him as holy when we come to pray, gather to worship, attend the theater, ballpark, or restaurant, watch TV, or talk in the shopping mall with our friends.
