Jehová, [...] haz que suceda, por favor (Gén. 24:12).
El estudio de la Biblia nos enseña lo importante que es pedir siempre la guía de Dios. Recordemos el caso del siervo de mayor edad de Abrahán, quien seguramente era Eliezer. Este hombre viajó a Mesopotamia por orden de su amo en busca de una mujer que sirviera a Jehová y se casara con Isaac. Cuando vio a varias mujeres sacando agua de un pozo, oró a Jehová y le dijo: “Que la joven a quien yo diga: ‘Baja tu jarro de agua, por favor, para que yo beba’, y que realmente diga: ‘Bebe, y también daré de beber a tus camellos’, esta sea la que tienes que asignar a tu siervo, a Isaac” (Gén. 24:13, 14). El siervo de Abrahán recibió la respuesta a su oración cuando Rebeca dio de beber a sus camellos. Poco después, ella se fue con él a Canaán y llegó a ser la amada esposa de Isaac. Claro, hoy día no podemos esperar que Jehová nos guíe dándonos una señal especial. No obstante, él dirigirá nuestros pasos si le oramos y nos dejamos guiar por su espíritu (Gál. 5:18).

Jehovah . . . , cause it to happen, please.—Gen. 24:12.
Bible study makes it evident that you should always pray for God’s guidance. Consider what happened when the patriarch Abraham sent his eldest servant—likely Eliezer—to Mesopotamia to obtain a God-fearing wife for Isaac. As women drew water at a certain well, the servant prayed to Jehovah: “What must occur is that the young woman to whom I shall say, ‘Let your water jar down, please, that I may take a drink,’ and who will indeed say, ‘Take a drink, and I shall also water your camels,’ this is the one you must assign to your servant, to Isaac.” (Gen. 24:13, 14) The prayer of Abraham’s servant was answered when Rebekah watered his camels. She soon accompanied him to Canaan and became Isaac’s beloved wife. Of course, you cannot expect God to give you a special sign. Yet, he will guide you in life if you pray and are determined to be led by his spirit.—Gal. 5:18.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
