2(E) Count it all joy, my brothers,[b] when you meet trials(F) of various kinds, 3for you know that(G) the testing of your faith(H) produces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be(I) perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5(J) If any of you lacks wisdom,(K) let him ask God,(L) who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6But(M) let him ask in faith,(N) with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like(O) a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8(P) he is a double-minded man,(Q) unstable in all his ways.
~ We are going to face trials and troubles in our faith walk, but it is God's plan! He must test us so that He can mature us completely. When we need help we should lean on God, who freely gives His love- but we must not doubt Him! We must have complete faith in God.
lacking in nothing... we must see everything as contributing to the person God wants us to be.
