The verses around it, from James 1.

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
