Supplication is the result of addressing God
When you address God, you tend to start pleading with Him for what you desire. You have to approach Him first (preferably with thanksgiving, praise, and worship), believing that He Is, and then you make your requests.
This is the only way that this sentence makes sense to me, using the following definition from RAE for "orar":
1. intr. DIRIGIRSE mentalmente o de palabra a una divinidad o a una persona sagrada, frecuentemente PARA hacerle una súplica.
