Spiritual Preparation
Continue your daily devotions and fellowship with the Lord. Ask the Lord to give you wisdom, discernment, and strength.
Scripture
James 3:5,6,7KJV
5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6) 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. 7) For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. 8) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
