Bible Text: Genesis 24:1-67 | Preacher: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti | Series: Genesis, Love Story B.C.

1.  Among the many important things we should be praying for our children; such as that they might come to trust Christ as Savior early in life, that they be protected from the evil one in each area of their lives (physical, spiritual, emotional), that they be single-heartedly sold out to Jesus Christ; we should pray for their future mate, that they be kept from the wrong mate and saved for the right one.

2.  Abraham’s servant was successful in his missions because: he planned (leaving room for God to work)(James 4:13-15), he prayed, and he persisted.

3.  Principles of God’s leading in our lives:

-we must be committed to and growing in the Word of God

-we must be open to God’s leading

-we must be watching for God’s leading, seeing Him in our circumstances

-we must be committed to prayer

-we must praise God when the answer comes

-we must not be deterred
