Ask God for wisdom

James writes to the early church, stressing the importance of a life lived in devotion to God. Believing in the right things is not enough – followers of Jesus must also live according to their faith. But this is no easy task and James reassures his readers that help is available.

If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all

generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in

faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of

the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

James 1:5–6, NRSV
