DEESIS
American: a petition, a request, a prayer
DEOMAI
American: to beg, to petition, to beseech, to pray
There is great power in the prayer of a person who is right with Theos, according to the New Blood Covenant. This is not easily understood because we know that Theos exercises thelema, that is He decides and decrees and yet, He wants us to ask.
Almost Greek [Words in italics

Philippians 1.3: I always eucharisto [express gratitude, give thanks] to my Theos over all my remembrance of you in all my deesei over you, amidst all joy making the deesin over your koinonia [sharing, partnership] into the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] from the first day that you heard it until now; being convinced of this very thing, that He having begun a good work in you will fulfill [finish] it until the day of Jesus, the Christou [Anointed One, Mashiyach, Messiah, Christ].
Philippians 4.4: Always chairete [be cheerful, rejoice] in the Kurio! Again, I will say, chairete! Let your propriety [decorum] be known to all men. The Kurios is near. Not be anxious about even one thing! Conversely, in everything (by proseuche [humbly begging God, praying] and deesei amid eucharistias [gratefully giving thanks] to Him, let your requests be made known to Theos. Also, the peace of Theos which surpasses all noun [intellect, mind, understanding] will be the vanguard [scout, guide] of your hearts and your minds in Jesus, the Christo.
Luke 21.34: [Jesus speaking] “Now, watch yourselves! so you don’t burden your hearts in headaches and intoxication and the distractions of this life and suddenly that day confront you. For it will come as a pagis [trap, snare] upon all those residing upon the face of all the earth. Accordingly, you be wide awake in all the time, deomenoi [begging, petitioning, beseeching, praying] in order that you may be deemed entirely deserving to escape all these events about to be caused to be and to stand in front of the Son of Man.”
Acts 4.29: And now, Kurios, contemplate upon their threats and give to your slaves (amidst all-outspokenness [boldness]) to speak all Your Logon [Word] in You stretching out Your hand to heal and to cause semeia [signs, indications] and to cause terata [wonders, miracles] to come into being via the name [authority] of Your hagiou Son, Jesus.” And they deethenton [having begged, having petitioned, having beseeched, having prayed], the place in which they were convened was rocked [shaken] and they were all filled with the Hagios Pneuma and spoke the logon of Theos amidst all-outspokenness.
Acts 8.20: But Rock said to him, “May your silver (together with you) be into destruction because you proposed to get the gratuity [free gift] of Theos via money. There isn’t a portion (nor a lot) for you in this Logos for your heart isn’t true before the face of Theos. Therefore, metanoeo [think differently, turnabout 1800, repent] from this badness of yours and deomai Theos if perhaps the purpose of your heart will be aphethesetai [sent forth, forsaken, forgiven] you for I see you being into the bile of bitterness and a bond of injustice.” Now answering, Simon said, “You deomai over me to the Kurios so that not even one word (of what you have spoken) will happen to me.”
Acts 10: Now, a certain man was in Caesarea Maritima (Cornelius by name), a centurion emergent from [over] a cohort [Roman military unit of 300 to 600 men] being called “The Italian” cohort. He was well-reverent and fearing Theos with all his household, both doing many beneficences to the people and deomenos to Theos via all. He clearly saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day [3 PM], an aggelon [messenger, angel] of Theos entering toward him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
James 5.13: Endures hardship any in [among] you? Let him proseuchestho [humbly beg of God, pray]. Is any joyful? Let him psalleto [play a stringed instrument while singing praise music]. Is any infirm in you? Let him summon the elders of the ekklesias [assembly, church] and let them proseuxasthosan [pray] over him (having first anointed him with olive oil) in the name [authority] of the Kuriou. The euche [wish; implies prayer] of pisteos [faith] sosei [will make safe, will save] those kamnonta [toiling; as if fatigued by toil; i.e., suffering] and the Kurios will waken him and if he might have done hamartias [misses of the mark or goal, errors, offenses, sins], it aphethesetai [will be sent forth, will be forsaken, will be forgiven] him. Acknowledge your paraptomata [sideslips, lapses, deviations] to one another and euchesthe [wish, implies praying] over one another, whatever how [somehow] you may be healed. A deesis of one who is dikaiou [equitable, just, right] ischuei [has much force, has much power], being made effective by God.
Ephesians 6.16: In [Above] all, having taken up the shield of pisteos [reliance, faith] in which you will be able to quench all the having-been-made-fiery darts [arrows] of the ponerou [hurtful] one, take up the helmet of soteriou [rescue, safety, salvation], and the sword of the Hagios Pneuma (which is the rhema [utterance] of Theos), via all proseuches [prayers] and deeseos [making petitions, making requests, making prayers], at all times proseuchomenoi [praying] in the Hagios Pneuma and keeping awake to this same in all persistence and deesei concerning the hagion [holy ones, sacred ones, consecrated ones, saints].
1st Timothy 2: Accordingly (first of all), I parakalo [call near, invite, urge, exhort, encourage] that deeseis, proseuchas, supplications and eucharistias to Theos be made on behalf of all men (on behalf of kings and all those in prominence) in order that we may all lead a tranquil and sedate life in all piety and venerableness.
1st Peter 10: For one wanting to agapan [unconditionally love] life and to know good days, let him stop his tongue from kakia [worthless] speaking; also, his lips not to utter deceit. Let him shun the kakou and let him do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it because the eyes of the Kuriou are upon the dikaious and His ears are open to their deesin. But the face of the Kuriou is above [against] those doing kakia.
PSALM 34.12: Who is the man who desires life, loving
length of days, to see good, guard your tongue from bad and your lips
from speaking deceit. Turn off from bad and do good. Search for shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness,
prosperity, friendship] and run after it for the eyes of YHWH are upon the tsaddiyq [dikaios]
and His ears are open to their yoohooing, but the face of YHWH is against doers of bad …
