SupplicationBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; (Philippians 4:6).
The word supplication means “to make requests for something.” We all have needs and desires, but do we adequately express them to our Lord? This word also means “prayer said in humility.” What is humility? The easiest definition is to say you know you are totally inadequate for the job, but God is totally adequate, and only He can get it done. Prayer said in humility means to make a request with fervency, an earnest entreaty. Here’s where passion comes into play. Lukewarm prayers don’t get much attention from you or from God. Remember He said He would spit the lukewarm Christians out of His mouth. He wants to know how you feel about the subject. Is this important to you? Limp prayers won’t get a response.
