“I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.”
I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps. The humility of Jacob's prayer is the theological baseline: I am unworthy. The accounting of what God has given — from staff-only to two camps — is the gratitude that grounds the request. The application: the prayer that acknowledges unworthiness and counts God's provision before making its request is the prayer of the person who has learned what grace means.
