Prayer begins with worship, not requests. When Jesus teaches us to pray "hallowed be your name," He's instructing us to honor God's holiness before asking for anything. God's name represents His character and deserves our highest reverence. We honor His name through careful speech, mindful choices about entertainment, and living as Christ-bearers in the world. Worship shifts our perspective from our problems to God's power, helping us see life correctly by seeing God properly. True prayer aligns us with God rather than trying to align God with us.
