Matthew 6:9b

The first petition of the Lord’s Prayer - “hallowed be your name” - is first not only in order but in priority. Every subsequent request seeks to serve this chief desire: that God’s name would be honored and glorified. If we pursue one aim above all else in prayer, it should be the very aim that Christ prayed first and lived for continually. And as we seek first His kingdom and His glory, we discover that every other concern finds its proper place according to God’s good design.
