       Our next verse is: “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” (1:5, 6, ESV). Sometimes within a trial, we lack wisdom as to why the trial is occurring. And sometimes we lack wisdom in a life circumstance which isn’t a trial. We just want to know what to do—or what would be best for us to do. We are undecided about something, as we can see things going good if we go one way, or good even if we were to go another way. Choices can complicate our decision. And, as we are in relationship with God, we want to do what God has aligned in our hearts—what he has put in our hearts. This isn’t always clear. It’s important that we stay aligned with what we really want to do because, if we do something long-term we don’t want to really do, it won’t work. We’ll quit at some point. Only we ourselves know what we really want.
