James 1:5-8
But if any of you lacks wisdom,

  • Proverbs 1:7
    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
  • Proverbs 9:10
    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
  • Psalm 111:10
    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.
  • Psalm 51:6
    Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom.

let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

  • 2 Timothy 3:14-17
    You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
  • James 3:17-18
    But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
  • Romans 11:33-34
    Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?

But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
