1. Give me success today (10-20)
Abraham's servant prepared gifts for the bride's family. Then he went to the town of Nahor. As he waited by the village well where all the women came to draw water, he prayed. He asked the Lord for a girl who would volunteer to water his 10 thirsty camels (12-14). This would be God's sign. He was asking God for a girl who was not selfish, but thoughtful and hard-working. A beautiful girl came to the well just after he finished praying, so he asked her for a drink of water, and she graciously complied--and offered to water his camels!

One Word: He bowed down and worshiped
