Brooks: the largest prayers

Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893
Meditation:
[The Disciples:] “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
—Acts 4:29-30 (NIV)

Quotation:
Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish that you had made it larger.
... Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), The More Abundant Life: Lenten Readings, Dutton, 1906, p. 103 (see the book)

Lord, enlarge my confidence in You.
