Ask for Wisdom in Trials

Hey, FAITH Fam!

It’s March 2, 2025! Yesterday, we talked about how trials grow our endurance. Today, let’s keep that momentum going and dive into how we can handle these trials with wisdom. James doesn’t just tell us to go through trials—he shows us how to ask for the strength and wisdom to make it through.

📖 Daily Scripture Reading: “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.” — James 1:5 (NKJV)

Let’s Break It Down

Alright, FAITH fam, this is key. When we’re going through tough times, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated. But instead of reacting out of stress or fear, James encourages us to ask for wisdom.

🔹 "If any of you lacks wisdom" – When life feels confusing, and you don’t know what to do, this is your reminder: You don’t have to have all the answers. It’s okay to admit that you need help—wisdom is something God is more than willing to give you.

🔹 "Let him ask of God" – God isn’t holding back wisdom from us. He’s waiting for us to ask for it. When you don’t know how to handle a situation, ask God for the guidance you need. He’ll give it freely, without judging or holding anything back.

🔹 "Who gives to all liberally and without reproach" – God is generous with His wisdom. He isn’t going to withhold it from you or make you feel unworthy. If you ask, He’ll provide. He wants you to have the clarity to make wise decisions.

Relatable Moment

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you just didn’t know what to do? Maybe you’ve had to make a tough decision, deal with a complicated situation, or face something that seemed impossible. I know I’ve been there.

But here’s the thing—God doesn’t expect you to go through life figuring it all out on your own. He’s always there, ready to give you wisdom when you ask. So don’t hesitate to ask God for clarity when things seem foggy.
