bid
To pray, in the religious sense, is devoutly to address the Supreme Being with reverent petition for divine grace or any favor or blessing, and in the fullest sense with thanksgiving and praise for the divine goodness and mercy; the once common use of the word to express any earnest request, as «I pray you to come in,» is now rare, unless in writings molded on older literature, or in certain phrases, as «Pray sit down;» even in these «please» is more common; «I beg you» is also frequently used, as expressing a polite humility of request. Beseech and entreat express great earnestness of petition; implore and supplicate denote the utmost fervency and intensity, supplicate implying also humility. Compare ASK; PLEAD.

How does the verb bid contrast with its synonyms?
Some common synonyms of bid are charge, command, direct, enjoin, instruct, and order. While all these words mean «to issue orders,» bid suggests giving orders peremptorily (as to children or servants).
How do charge and enjoin relate to one another, in the sense of bid?
Charge adds to enjoin an implication of imposing as a duty or responsibility.
charged by the President with a secret mission
How are the words command and order related as synonyms of bid?
Both command and order imply authority and usually some degree of formality and impersonality; command stresses official exercise of authority.
a general commanding troops
How does the word direct relate to its synonym instruct, in the sense of bid?
Direct and instruct both connote expectation of obedience and usually concern specific points of procedure or method, instruct sometimes implying greater explicitness or formality.
directed her assistant to hold all calls
the judge instructed the jury to ignore the remark
When can enjoin be used instead of bid?
While the synonyms enjoin and bid are close in meaning, enjoin implies giving an order or direction authoritatively and urgently and often with admonition or solicitude.
a sign enjoining patrons to be quiet
When might order be a better fit than bid?
The words order and bid can be used in similar contexts, but order may suggest peremptory or arbitrary exercise.
