Keep awake with all constancy and with supplication
in behalf of all the holy ones.—Eph. 6:18.




Supplication is earnest prayer coupled with intense feeling.

Concerning what may we supplicate Jehovah?

We can certainly do so when we are being persecuted or
if we are facing a life-threatening illness. At such times,
our prayers for God’s help understandably become supplications.

But are these the only times when we can supplicate Jehovah?



Consider Jesus’ model prayer, and note what he said about God’s name,
His Kingdom, and His will. (Matt. 6:9, 10) This world is drenched in wickedness,
and human governments are failing to care for even the basic needs of their citizens.
Surely, then, we should pray for our heavenly Father’s name to be sanctified
and for his Kingdom to rid the earth of Satan’s rule.

This is also a time to supplicate Jehovah to have his will done on earth
as it is in heaven. Let us therefore remain vigilant,
readily making use of all forms of prayer.

Reminds me of the scripture at 1 John 5:14

"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that, no matter what it is that we ask according to his will, he hears us."
