Petition
PETITION
According to Dr. Watts, is the fourth part of prayer, and includes a desire of deliverance from evil, and a request of good things to be bestowed. On both these accounts petitions are to be offered up to God, not only for ourselves, but for our fellow-creatures also. This part of prayer is frequently called intercession.

Petition
pe-tishun: Used in English Versions of the Bible only as a noun, usually as representing the Hebrew , she’elah (Psa 20:5, , mish’alah), from the common verb , sha’al, to ask. The noun, consequently, has no technical meaning, and may be used indifferently in the active (Est 7:2) or passive (1Sa 1:27) sense, or for a petition addressed to either God (1Sa 1:17) or man (1Ki 2:16), while in Jdg 8:24; Job 6:8; Psa 106:15, it is rendered simply request. Otherwise petition represents the Aramaic , bau (Dan 6:7, Dan 6:13), the Greek , atema (1Jo 5:15), and , deesis (1 Macc 7:37, the Revised Version (British and American) supplication), and the Latin oratio (2 Esdras 8:24).
