Praying for our Diocese 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

Monthly Prayers March 2015 Liverpool South & Childwall Deanery We pray for the all the people of Liverpool South to know the love of God. Bless each church in its shared leadership, and in each Christian finding their calling, both when the church is gathered and scattered. We pray especially for each of the three mission areas to grow in working together in partnerships and teams, as the Spirit leads. May we be a people passionate for God’s glory, seeking the renewal of the church and overflowing with compassion for those in our community and networks. Amen.
Huyton Deanery God of new beginnings we pray that you will transform your church as you renew us by your love. Give us vision for the journey that we may travel light and live increasingly by faith. Inspire, enliven and empower us, so that along the Way we may be sustained by the life of Christ in ourselves, in one another and in the world. Amen.
Sector Ministry We pray for all our chaplains working in sector ministry in its varied forms. We pray for those in authority with whom they work taking difficult decisions in an age of recession, austerity and opportunity. We pray for those with whom they work who see the chaplain as a source of pastoral support, spiritual guidance and advice. We pray for those who they support in prison, in university, in college, in hospital, in hospice, on board ship, in shopping centre and industry and so many other contexts. May your Holy Spirit enrich the relationships they forge and strengthen those with whom they meet. Amen.
