Sitting with this verse
Here God speaks like someone walking beside a frightened child and taking hold of the hand. The next verse calls Jacob a “worm,” small and exposed, and still the promise stands. “Fear not” is said again and again in this passage, as though it must be repeated before it sinks in. Name one fear plainly, and let a single word, “help,” be your whole prayer.

From Isaiah 41
Little Jacob is called a worm, yet God promises to hold his right hand. Feel your smallness without shame, and let God take your hand for today's road.
