James 1:5-8
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (ESV)

James sure fills a few small verses with relational impact! As humans, we so often lack wisdom to guide us through the maze of life. We constantly make decisions that shape our present and future, and we need all the help we can get! How gracious of God to provide that assistance when we trust him and believe that he will liberally endow us with the ability to make the right choices for life.
