In need of wisdom?

James 1:4-8

“Perseverance must finish its work in you so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything…  If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously, to all without finding fault, and it would be given to him…  But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave in the sea, blown and tossed by the wind…  That man should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord…  He is a double minded man, unstable in all he does…”
