As we begin a new Cycle of Prayer for our diocese, let us ask ourselves two questions: What is the purpose of prayer and how can this Cycle of Prayer help us in it?

Prayer is not about asking God for things which He would not otherwise have given. Jesus reassures us that our Father knows our needs before we even ask (Matthew 6. 7-8), so we should never see prayer as trying to wear down the reluctance of God to grant us what we need to serve Him. When we approach Him in prayer, we must do so believing that He wants the best for us, though that is not necessarily the same as ‘what we want’.

When Abraham prayed for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18. 22-33), it may indeed seem as if he was getting God to change his mind. Abraham understood that God planned to destroy the whole city and he began to intercede for it, asking God to spare it for the sake of any righteous people living there. God agreed that if fifty righteous people were found there, he would spare the place. Abraham then (apparently) bargains God down to sparing the city for as few as ten righteous people. Was God’s mind being changed? Or is it that, by persisting in prayer, Abraham had discovered the mercy that was always at the heart of God?

I want to suggest that prayer is not about changing God’s mind, but allowing Him to change us, by helping us to grow in appreciation of His love and in our understanding of His ways.

In this Diocese, we all serve God in a variety of situations, each of which produces in us a different response to God’s call. As we pray for each other, let us be aware of those different approaches which, nevertheless, arise out of our loving response to God. And as we stay with each other in prayer, may we grow in understanding of each other’s perspectives and, like Abraham, be changed ourselves.

Thank you, in anticipation of your prayers,

Rev Gregor Cuff, Diocesan Liturgy and Worship Forum
