Ask God and expect an answer. Put your confidence in Him alone and you will not be disappointed. Let patience do its perfect work in you by absorbing the lessons inherent in your trials. Don’t expect the answer to go along with the wisdom of the world but of the Spirit. Don’t expect the answer to be easy but it will have eternal benefits.
The wisdom God gives is not necessarily information on how to get out of trouble but rather insight on how to learn from one’s difficulties. The wisdom of God begins with a genuine reverence for the Almighty and a steadfast confidence that God controls all circumstances, guiding them to His good purposes. Double-minded is literally “two souls.” If one part of a person is set on God and the other is set on this world, there will be constant conflict within.
James 1:5-8
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
