Discussion Questions:

Why do we need wisdom in trials? What are some of the ways we lack wisdom in trials? What’s the difference between receiving wisdom and “feeling wise” in trials?

God gives wisdom generously and without reproach. What does this mean and how should it change the way you come to him? Where can we look to deepen our conviction that God is “the giving God”?

What’s the difference between the doubts that are always part of the life of faith and the double-mindedness James is talking about? How can you be in danger of having “two souls”? Is there a place where you are asking God for wisdom but holding back on whether you will fully obey him?
