The first thing that Jesus teaches us to pray in the Lord’s prayer is “Hallowed be your name.” For many of us, we have a hard time making that the first portion of our prayer. We think it’s a waste of time. We want to rush past the adoration part to get to the supplication part. However, we must understand that adoration is not simply a nice way to start prayer, but the necessary condition of our hearts in order to pray effectively.
