Pre-emptive Prayer Answering

Ge 24:12 Then he prayed, "O LORD, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 
Ge 24:13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. 
Ge 24:14 May it be that when I say to a girl, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
Ge 24:15 Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder.


In these verses Abraham's servant thinks his prayers are answered immediately, however God actually answered his prayer long before he even prayed it in order for Rebekah to appear as he was praying. How cool is that :)
