A New Word For Me: Supplication

Many blue moons would pass before I would even think of picking up the Bible but a few nights ago I have decided to read the Book of Psalms while having dinner (not necessarily a good idea because I have gotten four food stains on two pages already).  In doing so, I saw the word supplication and had to look up its meaning.  Dictionary.com defines supplication as "humble prayer."  I would have used that word quite a bit already had I known of its existence.  Now that I know, I am going to use the verb "supplicate" in a sentence: To supplicate, one must suffocate his conceit, subdue his arrogance, show his sincerity, admit his weaknesses and infuse his deepest love into his prayer.
