Matthew 6:11
Our Father in heaven - Our eternal, holy, sovereign daddy in whose presence I enter and on whose lap a crawl up on....
Hallowed be Your name - may Your name be revered, honored, and set apart in me and through me - and set apart as holy among the nations so that every knee might bow and every tongue confess your righteous, saving name...
