Strong's Lexicon proseuchomai: To pray Original Word: προσεύχομαι Word Origin: From the Greek word "πρός" (pros, meaning "towards" or "to") and "εὔχομαι" (euchomai, meaning "to pray" or "to wish"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6419 (פָּלַל, palal) - to pray, to intercede - H8605 (תְּפִלָּה, tefillah) - prayer Usage: The verb "proseuchomai" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of praying, which involves communicating with God. It encompasses various forms of prayer, including supplication, intercession, thanksgiving, and worship. The term implies a directed and intentional act of speaking to God, often with a sense of reverence and devotion. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish tradition, prayer was a central aspect of religious life, with set times and specific prayers for different occasions. The early Christians, many of whom were Jewish, continued this practice, often gathering for communal prayer. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, emphasizing sincerity and faith over ritualistic repetition. The early church viewed prayer as essential for spiritual growth, guidance, and community life.
