Think the word prayer and most often you probably think petition. And that’s just what Christ was talking about in Luke 11:9-10.

So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

When we petition God what should our attitude be?

Well, the phrase hallowed be thy name is not in the Lord’s Prayer by accident.

How was it that Jesus put it, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and strength and mind.” You can’t get much more hallowed than that.

Hallowed? It is a litmus test for how we feel about the God to whom we are praying. Hallow, not shallow. Adoration, not relationship with amendments.

Prayer? It is the one place our independence seeks dependence. Whether we are thanking God or pleading our case before His throne of mercy, we are in essence saying, “Here am I, Lord, take me.”
