ευχη, when it means prayer, has apparently a general

signification.

προσευχη and δεησις are often used together. προσευχη is

restricted to prayer to God, while δεησις has no such restriction.

δεησις also refers chiefly to prayer for particular benefits,

while προσευχη is more general.

The prominent thought in εντευξις is that of boldness and freedom

in approach to God.

ευχαριστια is thanksgiving, the grateful acknowledgment of

God's mercies, chiefly in prayer.

αιτημα, much like δεησις, denotes a specific petition for a

particular thing.

In ικετηρια the attitude of humility and deprecation in prayer is

specially emphasized. All these words may incticate at times not

different kinds of prayer, but the same prayer viewed from different

stand-points.
