James 1:5

Even a familiar passage can become newly alive at the right moment. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

God is not irritated by sincere requests for wisdom; he welcomes them. Wisdom begins when we admit our need instead of disguising it.

This verse encourages an open-handed dependence on God's counsel. Pause once at midday and turn the key promise of this verse into a short prayer.
