Don't casually use or abuse GOD'S name, as if it were of no significance. He will certainly convict offenders in his courtroom.
MATTHEW 6:9 (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven, we hold your name in the highest regard.
THE ESSENCE
Take God and his name seriously.
DAILY FODDER
This is more than an admonition to avoid cursing.
PRAYER
Great and glorious God, the one who is called "I AM," you deserve total respect through our words and actions. Forgive us for the casual way we talk about you—even turning you into a curse. Show us what it means to hold your name in the highest regard. I want to take you seriously but I'm going to need some training. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.

Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
