James 1:6-7
6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
The thing to remember here is what is being prayed for. Verse 5 states that wisdom is what is being prayed for. If you asked for wisdom, but were unsure if God would give it to you, what good will it be to you if you actually receive it? Will you even know for sure that you did? You will be right back where you started, depressed, stagnant, and thoroughly indecisive.
If you really want wisdom, ask it with purpose. You want to solve problems? Ask for, and expect to receive, the wisdom necessary to solve them. Stop beating around the bush and go the Fountain of wisdom and drink.
