The Lord’s Prayer: Hallowed Be Your Name (Isaiah 42:1-9)
Graham Powell, 19 April 2015
Part of the The Lord's Prayer series, Sunday Evening service
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name”: we no longer go for deference in this country - it is all about informality in the way we talk to others, in the way we dress and in the way we behave. So what does it mean to hallow or honour God’s name. What impact does concern for God’s name have on our personal and corporate prayer life, thoughts, emotions and behaviour?

Isaiah 42:1–9 (Listen)
42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, in whom my soul delights;
I have put my Spirit upon him;
he will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street;
3 a bruised reed he will not break,
and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged
till he has established justice in the earth;
and the coastlands wait for his law.
5 Thus says God, the LORD,
who created the heavens and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
who gives breath to the people on it
and spirit to those who walk in it:
6 “I am the LORD; I have called you in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you as a covenant for the people,
a light for the nations,
7 to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
from the prison those who sit in darkness.
8 I am the LORD; that is my name;
my glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to carved idols.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
I tell you of them.”
