ABSTRACT

This chapter attempts to show how it may be possible to apply process thought to an understanding of petitionary and intercessory prayer. Traditional supernaturalistic theism is based on a monarchical model of God's relationship to the world. In this model, God exists independently of this or any other world, has supreme power and totally determines not only the origin and structure of the world but also the course of events within it. In process thought what exists eternally and necessarily is not just God, but 'God-and-a-world'. Because God is related to every creature so that all may be said to be 'in' God, the process view of the relationship between God and the rest of reality is known as 'panentheism'. Direct divine influence on all things is thus an essential feature of the universe when conceived in terms of process thought. Accordingly, process theologians speak of God presenting lures to creatures.
