When we pray, Hallowed be Thy Name, this is what we mean.The motive is this, "Oh! that God could be glorified, that Jesus might see the reward of his sufferings! Oh! that sinners might be saved, so that God might have new tongues to praise him, new hearts to love him! Oh! that sin were put an end to, that the holiness, righteousness, mercy, and power of God might be magnified!" This is the way to pray; when thy prayers seek God’s glory, it is God’s glory to answer thy prayers.
When Spurgeon died, 60,000 people came to his viewing and even the pubs closed on the day of his funeral. Not bad for a cigar-smoking Baptist preacher.
