Hallowed?

Hallowed be thy name, that's the next part of the prayer Jesus told His disciples to pray. Why would we need to remind GOd who He is and what we see Him as? We know He is above all, we know that He knows all, and we know that He is all powerful, so why?
Jesus put this important piece of prayer in place so that we would remind ourselves who it is we are talking to. This was an attempt to keep us from humanizing and weakening God in our own hearts and minds. When you meet someone that is a dignitary or king, queen royalty of any sort you talk, walk and act differently automatically because you are respectful of who you are talking to. It's should be the same with our prayer times with God. We should be mindful of just who we are talking to.
This part of the prayer also takes us all the way back to a couple of tablets that were walked down a mountain in the Old Testament. We were given the 10 commandments and the first 2 dealt with God and our understanding of Him. We are to have no other Gods before Him, and we are not to take His name in vain.
Any time we do either of these we are de-valueing God and His name. When we put something in front of God, and seemingly worship it whether it is a job, money, relationship, position of power, or just a hobby we are devaluing God in our own lives. Same with cussing and taking His name in vain, we are devaluing Him and His name in our own lives. It's important that GOd's name remain above all other names, above all other things and especially in our prayer life. How can we honestly repent in our prayers, and ask for forgiveness if we are in a sense forgetting some of His most important commandments? We can't.
So when you pray today, or tonight make sure you remind yourself of just who it is you are talking to. Give Him the respect and reverence that is needed and then drift into your requests and petitions. Your prayer life will change drastically, I promise!
