James 1:5

Trials, Testing, And Faith

⁴ But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. ⁵ Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
