David Livingstone prayed, “Lord, I am yours. Do what seems good in your sight, and give me complete resignation to your will.” Watchman Nee prayed, “Lord, I am willing to let go all of this for you: not just for your work, not for your children, not for anything else at all, but altogether and only for yourself!”¹

When we pray, “Hallowed be Your name,” we are harkening back to Leviticus 22:32, which tells us to hallow the Lord in our own lives, for He is the One who sanctifies us.

One way to hallow God’s Name is by relinquishing control of our lives. When we yield fully to the Lord and allow Him to guide us, we hallow the Name of God. Make sure you’re living in obedience to the Lord so your worship will expand your vision to think of what God can do through you. Don’t be afraid to say, “Lord, I am Yours. Do what seems good in Your sight, and give me complete resignation to Your will.”

Put aside now your weighty cares and leave your wearisome toils. Abandon yourself for a little to God and rest for a little in Him.
St. Anselm
