Effective Prayer is seen in Genesis 24:10. And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master and departed, for all the goods of his master were in his hand, and he rose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor. 11. And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, the time that women go out to draw water. 12. And he said, “LORD* God of my master Abraham, Make something happen right in front of me today, and act gracefully with my master. 13. Behold, I am standing by the well of water and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water. 14. And let it be that the girl to whom I shall say, Let down your pitcher, please, so I can drink and she will say, ‘Drink, and I shall also give your camels drink.’ Let the same be she that You have appointed for Your servant Isaac and thereby will I know that You have shown kindness to my master.”
