If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

James 1:5

Many believers come to God not because everything is settled, but because it is not. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

God is not irritated by sincere requests for wisdom; he welcomes them. Wisdom begins when we admit our need instead of disguising it.

This verse encourages an open-handed dependence on God's counsel. Read the verse aloud twice and let one phrase stay with you through the afternoon.
