prayerfulness
State of supplication
Prayerfulness is a disposition toward prayer or spiritual devotion—a quality of being inclined to pray or maintain a reverent, contemplative attitude.
It suggests ongoing spiritual attentiveness rather than occasional prayer: Her prayerfulness deepened after the illness.
The word often implies sincerity and earnestness in one's relationship with the divine.
