There are several motivations - good motivations - when it comes to evangelism. Here's one: jealous worship. (HT: Gary West Davis) The petition 'hallowed be thy name' reminds us of this motivation. There is to be within the soul of every Christian the deep desire to see the Father honored by every person walking this globe. That such honor is not the case is to be something that troubles every child of God. The particulars of how one responds to this situation will differ according to things like calling and context. But we all are to desire that this lack be changed until God, our Father, is honored 'on earth as it is in heaven'.
