If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.

James 1:5

A single line of Scripture can become a shelter for the entire day. 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. Breathe slowly and repeat the central promise until your thoughts begin to settle.
