Christianese: "May you be glorified"

We should make a dictionary of all the Christianese terms we use. I probably don't have time to finish this post since I have to be outta here in 5 minutes, but today God had me reflect on what "bringing Him glory" REALLY meant.

So many times we pray, "God may you be glorified through this....I pray that I can give you glory....may we give you glory through our worship...Take all the glory during our retreat..."

But what does that look like? If you were to break it down to a non-churched person what giving God the glory was about, what would you say?

We never use the term glory in our everyday conversations with people - "May you be glorified through your championship meet later pal!" "Girllll you look super glorious today!"

So I wanna hear from you: How would we know if our prayer of "God may you be glorified" was fulfilled? What would be different?
