“ When I came to the spring today, I said,‘ Lord, God of my master Abraham, if you will, please grant success to the journey on which I have come.

“ Today when I came to the spring, I prayed: LORD, God of my master Abraham, if only you will make my journey successful!

“ So I came today to the spring, and said,‘ Lord, God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I have been going successful;

“ And this day I came to the well and said,‘ O Lord God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,

And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O Jehovah, the God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

“ Today when I came to the spring, I prayed: Lord, God of my master Abraham, if only You will make my journey successful!

When I came to the spring today, I prayed,‘ O LORD, God of my master Abraham, if you have decided to make my journey successful, may events unfold as follows:

O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me. Put it into his heart to be kind to me.” In those days I was the king’s cup bearer.

“ O Lord, God of my master, Abraham,” he prayed.“ Please give me success today, and show unfailing love to my master, Abraham.See, I am standing here beside this spring, and the young women of the town are coming out to draw water.This is my request. I will ask one of them,‘ Please give me a drink from your jug.’ If she says,‘ Yes, have a drink, and I will water your camels, too!’— let her be the one you have selected as Isaac’s wife. This is how I will know that you have shown unfailing love to my master.”

And there by the Ahava Canal, I gave orders for all of us to fast and humble ourselves before our God. We prayed that he would give us a safe journey and protect us, our children, and our goods as we traveled.

One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.

And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!

Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did.

As soon as the angel was gone, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier, one of his personal attendants.He told them what had happened and sent them off to Joppa.

They said,“ We were sent by Cornelius, a Roman officer. He is a devout and God fearing man, well respected by all the Jews. A holy angel instructed him to summon you to his house so that he can hear your message.”

Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.

Laban said to him,“ Come and stay with us, you who are blessed by the Lord! Why are you standing here outside the town when I have a room all ready for you and a place prepared for the camels?”
