“And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:”
Then Jacob prayed: O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, LORD, you who said to me, go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper. The prayer begins with the covenant basis — the God of Abraham and Isaac who gave the command to return and promised prosperity. Jacob does not pray from his own merits but from the covenant history. The application: grounding your prayer in the covenant history — the God who made these specific promises — is the foundation of covenant prayer.
