A servant’s prayer


The aging Abraham must have completely trusted his eldest servant to send the man on such a long journey and important mission: To travel to Abraham and Sarah’s homeland to get a wife for their son Isaac.

Genesis 24:12 – a prayer of Abraham’s servant
from the King James Version of the Bible
and the Book of KJV prayers

"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."

Genesis 24:12 prayer paraphrased
from the Book of Bible Prayers 

"Oh, Lord
God of my master,
please grant me
success today
and show
Your steadfast
love!"

Today, the Lord Himself is our Master! So we can be sure of His positive response to us as we pray this servant’s prayer and go about, doing God’s will.
