The call of Jeremiah is reassuring - as are many of the calls of the prophets - the response is not that greedy one of - oh yes please let me, let me - but rather - I am not sure whether I can manage that.
Then God reassures, and scoops up and sets straight.
If we ever get cold feet or doubt our abilities we should rest assured that we are not the only ones - Jeremiah tried to wiggle out of his call but at the end of the day he was filled and fulfilled as a prophet - who he was, who God called him to be and who only God saw he could be.
