What is Praying Boldly? Some might think boldness in prayer means storming into heaven’s courts demanding attention. This is not boldness in the way Christ taught it or modeled it. Instead, boldness is the picture of a confident servant coming to his master in an attitude of praise.

What does the Word mean biblically? In the Bible, boldness ( Greek: parrhesia) means confident, fearless speech and action for God, stemming from the Holy Spirit, not-self confidence; it’s courage to speak truth and do His will despite fear or opposition, like the disciples after Pentecost, and aggression. It’s about choosing God’s truth over comfort, exemplified by figures like Peter & Paul, and rooted in forgiveness and a clear standing with God.
