Prayer 32

Wait a minute, Lord, what is this? Here and there in your sacred text... in the stories and in the prophesies... with Elijah and Elisha... magic horses! Flaming chariots and magic horses that streak across the sky! Lord, how do I get a ride? I want to sit in those saddles. I want to grasp the reigns of those chariots. Bring me to your stables, Lord. Help me be worthy of such a thrill.

(2 Kings 2:11, 6:17; Isaiah 66:15)
