Hallowed
be Thy Name
Matthew
6:9
"Hallowed be Thy Name"
you pray daily, continually,
in your approaches to the
Father. Understand what
this means in orientation,
activity and commitment.
It is first of all a prayer
that you yourself approach
the Father with appropriate
awe and reverence even though
you are responding to His
all-embracing love and care.
In a proper realisation
of the awe-fullness of His
Presence will you find the
necessary approach and receive
the abundance of His blessing
which He yearns to give.
And the heart of the matter
is in a quiet contemplation
in receptiveness and in
an insistent waiting on
His will and purpose. The
mind and the heart must
be deeply quiet before the
circumstance of communication
can even begin.
As it with the individual
so it is with the group
and with all coming together
of the children of the Father.
Some find the quietness
of His Presence through
corporate worship, some
few through silence : both
are necessary for a balanced,
maturing life of the spirit.
Never let the rush and
noisy demands of daily activity
invade the area of purposeful
quiet in which you approach
your Heavenly Father in
love. And realise the part
I play in presenting all
prayer and prayerful children
of the Father before Him
in the light and love of
my saving grace through
Our Holy Spirit.
