Why is humility important in prayers according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Humility is crucial in prayer because it recognizes our unworthiness and dependence on God's grace for mercy and help.

Humility in prayer, as demonstrated by the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15, teaches us to approach God not with entitlement but with a recognition of our position before Him. This woman, despite being called a dog by Jesus, persisted in her plea for mercy, showing that true humility does not give up in the face of discouragement. It is the acknowledgment of our frailty and unworthiness that leads us to earnestly seek God’s grace. Moreover, it's this humble approach that allows us to claim His promises with confidence, knowing that our prayers are not based on our merit but on His mercy.
