What does 'hallowed be thy name' mean in prayer?

When we pray 'Hallowed be thy name' as taught by Jesus, we acknowledge God's holiness and set apart His name as sacred. This phrase reflects a desire not only for God's name to be revered in heaven but also on earth among all people. It is an appeal for God's glory to be recognized and esteemed among His creation. As followers of Christ, we are called to honor God’s name in our lives and prayers, demonstrating how we revere Him in our day-to-day actions (Matthew 6:9). This invocation serves to prioritize God’s holiness over our own desires and requests.
