'Petitions' in the Bible

and she had been a widow for about eighty-four years), who didn't depart from the temple, worshipping with fastings and petitions night and day.

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
