James 1:5

Trials, Testing, And Faith

⁴ But you must let endurance have its full effect, 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 everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him. ⁶ But he must ask in faith, without any doubts, for the one who has doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
