Jesus said to pray in this manner: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed (or, sanctify, make holy) Your name” (Matt. 6:9).
But is there more to God’s name than just… God? How can we make holy the name of God when we don’t really know what that name is and what His name reveals about the nature of God?
For example, in the Old Testament God our Father is also known as:
Jehovah-tsidkenu – Jehovah our Righteousness
Jehovah-m’kaddesh – Jehovah Who Sanctifies
Jehovah-shammah – Jehovah is There
Jehovah-shalom – Jehovah is Peace
Jehovah-rophe – Jehovah Heals
Jehovah-jireh – Jehovah Sees or His Provision Shall be Seen
Jehovah-nissi – Jehovah our Banner
Jehovah-rohi – Jehovah our Shepherd
Want to know more about God’s names and His nature? Then keep listening.
The following is a study on Colossians 1:9-11 and the names of God.

I’d just like to pass on another way to help spread the gospel and it’s simply this:-
Include a link to an online gospel tract (e.g. http://www.freecartoontract.com/animation) as part of your email signature.
An email signature is a piece of customizable HTML or text that most email applications will allow you to add to all your outgoing emails. For example, it commonly contains name and contact details – but it could also (of course) contain a link to a gospel tract.
For example, it might say something like, “p.s. you might like this gospel cartoon …” or “p.s. have you seen this?”.
