Topical Encyclopedia

Supplication is a form of prayer that involves earnest and humble requests or petitions to God. It is a significant aspect of the Christian life, reflecting a believer's dependence on and trust in God's provision and mercy. The term "supplication" is derived from the Latin word "supplicare," meaning "to plead humbly." In the biblical context, supplication is often associated with a deep sense of need and a sincere desire for divine intervention.

Biblical References

The concept of supplication is prevalent throughout the Bible, both in the Old and New Testaments. It is frequently mentioned alongside prayer, indicating its integral role in the believer's communication with God.

1. Old Testament: Supplication is a common theme in the Psalms, where the psalmists often cry out to God in times of distress. For example, in Psalm 28:2 , David pleads, "Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary." This verse exemplifies the heartfelt nature of supplication, as David earnestly seeks God's attention and aid.

2. New Testament: The Apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of supplication in the life of a believer. In Philippians 4:6 , he instructs, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Here, supplication is presented as a remedy for anxiety, encouraging believers to bring their needs before God with a thankful heart.

Characteristics of Supplication

· Earnestness: Supplication is marked by a sincere and fervent appeal to God. It is not a casual or routine prayer but one that arises from a deep sense of need or urgency.

· Humility: A key aspect of supplication is the recognition of one's own limitations and the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and power. It involves approaching God with a humble heart, fully aware of one's dependence on His grace and mercy.

· Faith: Supplication is an expression of faith, trusting that God hears and responds to the prayers of His people. It reflects a belief in God's goodness and His willingness to act on behalf of those who seek Him.

· Persistence: The Bible encourages believers to be persistent in their supplications. Jesus taught about the importance of persistence in prayer through parables, such as the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1-8 , where He illustrates the value of continual and unwavering prayer.

Examples of Supplication in Scripture

· Hannah's Prayer: In 1 Samuel 1:10-11 , Hannah's supplication is a poignant example of earnest prayer. "In her bitter distress, Hannah prayed to the LORD and wept with many tears. And she made a vow, pleading, 'O LORD of Hosts, if only You will look upon the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, not forgetting Your maidservant but giving her a son, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall ever come over his head.'"

· Daniel's Supplication: Daniel 9:3 describes Daniel's approach to God with supplication: "So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes." Daniel's prayer is characterized by confession and a plea for God's mercy on behalf of his people.

· Jesus' Prayer in Gethsemane: In Matthew 26:39 , Jesus exemplifies supplication in His prayer at Gethsemane: "Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, 'My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.'" Jesus' prayer reflects submission to the Father's will, even in the face of immense suffering.

Role in the Christian Life

Supplication is a vital component of a believer's spiritual discipline. It fosters a deeper relationship with God, as it involves honest communication and reliance on His guidance and provision. Through supplication, Christians are reminded of their need for God's presence and intervention in every aspect of life, from personal struggles to broader concerns for the world.
