Luke 11:9
Collect
Provident Father,
with the prayer your Son taught us always on our lips,
we ask, we seek, we knock at your door:
help us so to seek that we may truly find,
so to ask that we may joyfully receive,
and so to knock that the door of mercy may be opened for us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Pew Reflection
There is a lot of ‘problematic’ language in our Hosea reading and in the Psalm, but they also contain wisdom for us. We can see the ethical calculus where injustice may reap rewards quickly, but the unjust will also experience a ‘famine of hearing God’s word’ and find themselves caught in a whirlwind of social chaos and disorder. In the interdependence of sin, recovery, and divine care, we can see a description of God’s relationship with the world in Luke 11:13. These words chart a relational theology that births a relational and affirmative ethic, embracing the vulnerable and giving voice to the voiceless. We see a God who we can imitate rather than fear. A God who inspires justice and compassion.
Ask Around: What things take you 'out of yourself', make you forget time?

Intercessions: prepared by John Noble
This is the day that the lord has made...Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us first thank God for the beautiful world in which we live and for all the living creatures and forms of life which share God’s creation with us. Keep us ever mindful that we are but custodians of this world and its resources for those who will come after us. Lord, in your mercy...Hear our prayer.
As we look around our world and see all the conflicts and civil strife in the Ukraine, the Middle East, Sudan and other areas, we pray for so many who have been forced to become refugees and have to rely on others to provide all that they used to provide for themselves. We pray for those working for relief agencies and for all who are working to find acceptable solutions to these conflicts. Lord, in your mercy...Hear our prayer.
We pray for the world wide Anglican Communion of which we are members and for its leaders as they find ways of promoting the Gospel in often more secular surroundings. We pray for Christians who live in countries where they may be in a minority and face discrimination and dislike in their local communities, that God will give them courage and guidance in their daily lives. We pray for our Archbishop Jeremy, our Bishop John, our priest Helen, and for those who work in voluntary organisations such as Anglicare which provide support and help where Governments do not.
Lord, in your mercy...Hear our prayer.
We thank God for our health and strength and pray for those who can no longer enjoy what they used to do, through age, illness, accident or disability. We pray for all places of healing and treatment and for the medical staff who care for them. We pray for those who look after the elderly and disabled in their own homes and whose lives are restricted in doing what they would like to as they care for them. Today we pray particularly for.....
Lord, in your mercy...Hear our prayer.
We pray for our local communities, on the Mountain and around Canungra, those who work to provide emergency and other services upon which we rely so much, those who work in schools, shops and offices.
Lord, in your mercy...Hear our prayer.
We remember all those who have been influential in our lives but who are no longer with us, particularly those whose years mind occurs at this time...
We say this grace together... Go before us, O Lord, in all our doings with your most gracious favour, and assist us with your continual help, that in all our works, begun, continued and ended in you, we may glorify your holy name, and finally by your mercy obtain everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Almighty God, you have promised to hear our prayers, grant that what we have asked in faith, we may by your grace receive.
