Pray for His Fame


Ever think that God desires to be famous? Do you ever just think


of Him as someone who likes to be known just as the man upstairs
or just a person or entity that can't be see or touched?


Do you keep Him hidden? Or do you shout about Him

from the mountain top?


Whatever our thoughts and feelings may be, here is a

devotional that will make

you stop and think and wonder do I really know Him.

God Bless.


Pray for His Fame John Piper
“Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” (Matthew 6:9)


Dozens of times Scripture says that God does things “for his name’s sake.”

But if you ask what is really moving the heart of God in that statement

(and many like it), the answer is that God delights in having his name known.


The first and most important prayer that can be prayed is,

“Hallowed be thy name.”

This is a request to God that he would work to cause people to hallow his name.


God loves to have more and more people “hallow” his name,

and so his Son teaches Christians to put their prayers in line with this great

passion of the Father.


“Lord, cause more and more people to hallow your name,” that is, esteem,

admire, respect, cherish, honor, and praise his name.

It is basically a missionary prayer.
