James 1:5-8

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

James 1:5-8


-----------------------------
I went over these verses recently and they really spoke to me!  I know I lack wisdom and the one person I can get it from is God, but I haven't been going to Him like I should.  Too often I rely on my own abilities and resources to handle situations when in reality, nothing I do could be accomplished without God.  It also pointed areas where I doubt God and HIS abilities!  Lord, help me take you out of the box and help me stop doubting You and Your awesomeness!

Jeremiah 17:7-8

But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose
   confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the
   water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not
   fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no
   worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

   Jeremiah 17:7-8
----------------------
An area I'm definitely lacking in is putting my trust in the LORD!  I can feel my "roots" strengthening the more I seek God and open my heart up to the relationship God wants to have with me/all of us!
