Petition!

The word "Petition" has many meanings.... At Wikipedia, it's define as "A petition is a request to change some thing, most commonly made to a government official or public entity. Petitions to a deity are a form of prayer. In the colloquial sense, a petition is a document addressed to some official and signed by numerous individuals. A petition may be oral rather than written, and in this era may be transmitted via the Internet. The term also has a specific meaning in the legal profession as a request, directed to a court or administrative tribunal, seeking some sort of relief such as a court order. A petition can also be the title of a legal pleading that initiates a case to be heard before a court. The initial pleading in a civil lawsuit that seeks only money (damages) might be titled (in most U.S. courts) a complaint; an initial pleading in a lawsuit seeking non-monetary or "equitable" relief such as a request for a writ of mandamus or habeas corpus, or for custody of a child or for probate of a will, would instead be termed a petition."

As a lawyer, I often filed Petition in the High Court. Today, I received a Notice of Hearing for my Petition and it somehow made me ponder over the word "petition". Many time, I argued my case and trying my very best to win the case during a Petition hearing. Judges will usually taken consideration of all the submission made by the lawyers and they will then make their rulling based on that. The more evidence we got, the more chance we have in winning a case. A petition therefore, is a request of a lawyer whom being instructed by their client, to seek for certain relief, inclusive of Petition for Divorce and Petition to be admitted as Advocate and Solicitor in the High Court of certain places.

In a spiritul context, I do somehow, remember the word petition... where the Word of God states, we shall submit our needs and/or petition to the Lord. Just like the legal context, where we file in a petition to the Lord... So today, I really submitting my case and my submission hoping that the Lord will listen to my point and make me win this case...

My petition today is simple... that He will continue to be the Lord, He will heals the sick, forgive the sinner and continue to love us.
