Prayer and Humility

Feb 4, 2026    Pastor Ed Pope

This document synthesizes theological insights and scriptural analysis regarding the relationship between prayer and humility. The central thesis is that effective prayer requires a paradoxical blend of bold intercession and profound humility, underpinned by an alignment with the divine will. Using Genesis 18, Luke 18, and 1 John 5 as primary frameworks, the analysis demonstrates that boldness in prayer is rooted in God’s character and promises, while humility is rooted in a correct assessment of the human condition.
