[[any]] [[pious]] [[address]] to God ([[see]] [[below]])): προσευχαί, νηστειαι, ποιεῖσθαι δέησιν, ποιεῖσθαι δεήσεις, [[περί]] τίνος, [[ὑπέρ]] τίνος, [[πρός]] [[τόν]] Θεόν, SYNONYMS: [[δέησις]], [[προσευχή]], [[ἔντευξις]]: [[προσευχή]], as Prof. Grimm remarks, is [[unrestricted]] as respects its contents, [[while]] [[δέησις]] is petitionary; [[moreover]] [[προσευχή]] is a [[word]] of [[sacred]] [[character]], [[being]] [[limited]] to [[prayer]] to God, [[whereas]] [[δέησις]] [[may]] [[also]] be used of a [[request]] addressed to [[man]]. In Byzantine Greek it is used of a written [[supplication]] ([[like]] [[our]] [[petition]]); cf. [[Sophocles]] Lexicon, [[under]] the [[word]]. See [[more]] at [[length]] Trench, § li.; [[also]] Lightfoot on Schmidt, [[chapter]] vii. In [[ἔντευξις]], [[which]] expresses [[confiding]] [[access]] to God; [[thus]], in [[combination]], [[δέησις]] gives [[prominence]] to the [[expression]] of [[personal]] [[need]], [[προσευχή]] to the [[element]] of [[devotion]], [[ἔντευξις]] to [[that]] of childlike [[confidence]], by representing [[prayer]] as the [[heart]]'s [[converse]] [[with]] God.
