Notice two things about the Lord’s Prayer（主禱文）. It begins with the words 「Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name（我們在天上的父，願人都尊你的名為聖）」(Matthew 6:9 NKJV), and ends with 「Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen 」(Matthew 6:13 NKJV). God wants you to begin and end your prayers thinking of him（神要你禱告的開頭和結尾想到祂）. Why? Because it does you twice as much good to focus on God as it does to focus on anyone or anything else（頭尾聚焦於祂加倍好，無一能相比）！

When you magnify an object（放大一件物品）, you enlarge it so that you can see and understand it more（為了看清楚更明白）. When we magnify God（尊神為大）, we do the same thing. We enlarge our awareness of him（擴大對祂的認知）, so we can understand him more. This is what happens when we worship him - we take our minds off ourselves and set them on God（敬拜祂時，心中無我，專注於神）. We put the emphasis on him. In The Message, Eugene Peterson paraphrases the final words of the Lord’s Prayer this way（這麼改寫主禱文最後一句）: 「You’re in charge（你管定了）! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty（豔光照人）! Yes. Yes. Yes (Matthew 6:13).」

Could it be any plainer（有比這更白話的嗎？）? God is in charge! Speaking of Jesus Christ, Peterson paraphrases Paul’s words like this: 「God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep Heaven（讓祂坐在高天寶座上）, in charge of running the universe（經營管理宇宙）, everything from galaxies to governments（從銀河九天到執政掌權）, no name and no power exempt from his rule(沒一樣不歸祂管）. And not just for the time being, but forever（永世今生）. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything(祂說了才算）. At the centre of all this, Christ rules (Ephesians 1:20-23 MSG). 」So when you magnify the Lord, you’re saying: “You not only rule the universe, you rule my heart”（當你尊神為大，你是在說：”不僅統管宇宙，你也來管我這顆心”）!
