James 1:6
Compare all
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be1 perfect and complete, lacking nothing.  
5 aIf any of you lacks wisdom, blet him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and cit will be given to him.  
6 aBut 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 aa double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

James 1:6

Let him ask in faith - Believing that God IS; that he has all good; and that he is ever ready to impart to his creatures whatever they need.

Nothing wavering - · Not judging otherwise; having no doubt concerning the truth of these grand and fundamental principles, never supposing that God will permit him to ask in vain, when he asks sincerely and fervently. Let him not hesitate, let him not be irresolute; no man can believe too much good of God.

Is like a wave of the sea - The man who is not thoroughly persuaded that if he ask of God he shall receive, resembles a wave of the sea; he is in a state of continual agitation; driven by the wind, and tossed: now rising by hope, then sinking by despair.
