After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Matthew 6:9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To hallow God's name means to make it holy or set it apart for holy use, respecting it greatly. We hallow His name by obeying Him in all our conduct. Conversely, prayer without obedience is a form of blasphemy (Matthew 7:21, Mark 7:6-7), as is praise offered to God in the attitude of rebellion against His way. It is vain or vanity—useless and contemptible.
