Q. 101 What do we pray for in the first petition? A. In the first petition (which is, Hallowed be thy name) we pray, that God would enable us and others to glorify Him in all that whereby He maketh Himself known; and that He would dispose all things to His own glory. You see how important it was to Jesus that God's name would be hallowed. Today, we will see how this desire is foundational to all proper praying.
