Today, Louie Giglio continues on in the Lord's Prayer and focuses on the awe that is due our Heavenly Father. When we remember this truth, we hold in one hand the knowledge that we are His Children, and in the other hand, we proclaim how Holy He is.

Exalting God is a perspective shift for you to remember all He has done and all He is capable of doing.

Summary

Reframing every moment.

Matthew 6:9 continues, "Hallowed be Your name.” Hallowed means holy, and holy means set apart. So we come to Our Father as a child and are embraced by Him, but we also are aware that he is set apart. It's a Holy Hug. We still have not asked for or told God anything at this point. All we have said is that We are His children, and He is holy.

See 2 Chronicles 20:5-12 and Acts 4:23-29. In both passages, the people of God are in trouble, but instead of asking for anything, they focus on who God is. When the world is plotting to take you out, this is a glorious reframe.

Our God is sovereign and running the affairs of the universe, hallowed be His name! We gaze upon His Majesty. He is reframing the chaos on earth. Take one minute before you speak in prayer, and just consider who He is. See Revelation 19:11-16.

What's Next?

Today, we are not going to rush to request. The only assignment today is to gaze upon our Father. Remind yourself of who He says He is. Re-read Revelation 19:11-16 as it talks about Jesus.

Read 2 Chronicles 20:5-12 and Acts 4:23-29. Look at all the words that point to the might and power of God. How would you speak differently if you just took a moment to think of His Majesty?

Scripture References

“This, then, is how you should pray:

“ ‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

3And he said:

“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5Then Jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the temple of the

Lord

in the front of the new courtyard

6and said:

“

Lord

, the God of our ancestors, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you. 7Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend? 8They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying, 9‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’

7Our God, did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham your friend?

8They have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your Name, saying,

9‘If calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or famine, we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us.’

10“But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them.

11See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession you gave us as an inheritance.

12Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

23On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

24When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.

25You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:

“ ‘Why do the nations rage

and the peoples plot in vain?

26The kings of the earth rise up

and the rulers band together

against the Lord

and against his anointed one.’

27Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.

28They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.

29Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

11I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

12His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.

13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

14The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

15Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

16On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

king of kings and lord of lords.

41He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed,

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”

29Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
