“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” - James 5:1 Father, how easy it is to become impatient with decision-making.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
