“And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.”
The servant prays: LORD, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. The servant's prayer is the first thing he does after positioning himself at the well. The mission is God's; the servant acknowledges it. James 1:5 promises wisdom to those who ask; James 4:2 observes that you do not have because you do not ask. The servant asks. The prayer is specific, concrete, and humble: success today, kindness to Abraham. The application: before beginning a significant mission, pray specifically for what you need. The servant does not begin his search without asking God to make it successful.
