The text of the Amidah changes depending on the occasion, but it always opens with a prayer that invokes the Jewish peoples’ earliest ancestors: the patriarchs (and, in some prayer traditions, the matriarchs). This is the complete text, with the inclusion of the matriarchs (which is not done in all communities, and not always done this way) in blue.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ
אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אֱלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקב
[וֵאלֹהֵי שָׂרָה אֱלֹהֵי רִבְקָה אֱלֹהֵי רָחֵל וֵאלֹהֵי לֵאָה]
הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא אֵל עֶלְיוֹן
גּוֹמֵל חֲסָדִים טוֹבִים וְקוֹנֵה הַכּל
[וְזוֹכֵר חַסְדֵּי אָבוֹת [וְאִמָהוֹת
וּמֵבִיא גוֹאֵל לִבְנֵי בְנֵיהֶם לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ בְּאַהֲבָה
מֶלֶךְ עוֹזֵר וּמוֹשִׁיעַ וּמָגֵן
[בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’ מָגֵן אַבְרָהָם [וּפוֹקֵד שָׂרָה

Blessed are You, Lord our God and God of our ancestors

[God of Sarah, God of Rebecca, God of Rachel, and God of Leah.]
