Praying for wisdom

James 1:5-8 AMP

[5] If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. [6] But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. [7] For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, [8] being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].
