What does Genesis 24:42 mean?

In the previous verses, the servant described to Rebekah and her family how Abraham had commissioned him to swear to travel to the land of Abraham's people and attempt to find a wife for Abraham's son Isaac (Genesis 24:3–4).

Now the servant moves on to the part of the story that happened earlier that day. He begins by describing his prayer to God upon arriving at the spring/well outside their city (Genesis 24:12–14). He tells them of praying to the God of his master Abraham. This was the God he had already given credit for blessing Abraham with wealth and making him a great man.

This verse begins the specific request the servant made of the Lord. It concludes in the following two verses.
