In this 11-part series of messages, The Prayer That God Answers, Dr. Youssef demonstrates that unless we understand not just how to pray, but what to pray, our prayers are ineffectual. The end result of prayer is for God to be glorified.

In this bold fourth message of The Prayer That God Answers, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches the deep meaning behind Christ’s words, “Hallowed be Thy Name.” God’s Name is not merely a title—it reveals His character, His holiness, and His unmatched authority. To hallow His Name is to revere every aspect of who He is—not just His love, but also His justice, righteousness, and purity. Dr. Youssef warns against the shallow prayers of cultural Christianity and calls believers to praise God with their lips, their giving, and their obedience. True praise dethrones self and exalts Christ. It is not optional—it is essential for victorious prayer and spiritual power. To pray rightly is to glorify God’s holy Name above all.
