Praying for Your Elephant: Boldly Approaching Jesus with Radical and Audacious Prayer by Adam Stadtmiller is his inspirational guide to more-or-less Exactly What It Says In The Title (may or may not contain actual prayers for actual
Elephantidae), free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.
For some reason, this reminds me of that convo that Miles Vorkosigan and Simon Illyan have in Lois McMaster Bujold's
Memory (highly recommended if you enjoy really well-written and insightful (secular) MilSF which transcends its genre) when discussing the various motivators behind human action encountered by ImpSec personnel over the decades: "Money. Sex. Power. … And elephants." Anyway, I'm sure those elephants could probably use the prayers.
