Yaacov Only with His Stick

Yaacov only with his stick, nothing of worth (felt himself unworthy) could request Tzedaka from Hashem (despite his being entitled to it) לישועתך קויתי ה'. On the other hand, Yaacov used the stick to perform the miracle of splitting the river, since he showed bitul in requesting G-d’s Chesed, even though he was worthy according to Mishpat ברוך כבוד ה' ממקומו. Despite the fact that a Jew can ask Tzedakah in a way of Mishpat, yet a greater bitul is achieved if one requests Tzedakah despite being owed; then one draws down success beyond limitations.
