James 1:5-8

[5] lack  wisdom,  let him ask  of  God,  that giveth  to all  men liberally,  and  upbraideth  not;  and  it shall be given  him.  [6] But  let him ask  in  faith,  nothing  wavering.  For  he that wavereth  is like  a wave  of the sea  driven with the wind  and  tossed.  [7] For  not  that  man  think  that  he shall receive  any thing  of  the Lord.  [8] A double minded  man  is unstable  in  all  his  ways.
