"But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind . . . Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do" (James 1:6, 8 NLT).

Written in another James is saying, "But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind. If you are like that, unable to make up your mind and undecided in all you do, you must not think that you will receive anything from the Lord" (James 1:6-7 TEV).

Wow! this is good! We have to exercise our faith and our faith is an on going thing. This is a continuing action, FAITH! It is doing and having FAITH continually!

Please share your input along with this too. God bless you!

To me it means that the Christian life is a life of growth. None of us has "arrived," none of us has already become all that God means for us to become; every day we are to be conformed a little more to the image of Christ.

Great comment, Clutterbug! Each we are growing and maturing in the Lord a little bit more and becoming more mature in believing what we ask because we are becoming more molded each day the way God wants us to be. Thanks for the comment and God bless you!

My King James Version says, "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." James 1:6-8.

Truly, when we ask of God anything, we need to ask in Faith. And faith according to Hebrews 11:1 is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

It means then, that we need to believe we will receive what we ask from God, according to His will. Good day!happy

Great interpretation, Learn2earn! You are exactly right we have ask believing. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22 Just another verse to support we have to ask believing and have faith in God! Thanks and God bless you!

To me this verse speaks of being focussed in our faith for the answer and stand on the promises of God to us.

Not always, do we get what we ask for - but we continue on in the faith believing, and patiently waiting for God to give us wisdom, concerning answered prayers, and those that for some reason, seem to be either answered with a 'no' - or a 'wait awhile longer.'

I like the verse in 2 Timothy 2:13 that says even if we "believe NOT - yet He abides faithful" because He cannot deny Himself - - in other words, He's still the God who hears our prayers, even in time of little or no faith at all - His love for us is just that great.

No wonder why I love Him so.

To me faith is the 'ground wire' that recieves the promis.. or another way to put it is the open pathway.. and if we waver or doubt, it's like puttin bouldrs in the way.. so here we are advised to have clear, solid and even bold faith.. as wavering and doubting delays the outcome..
