Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

James 1:2-8

² Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³ because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ⁴ Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵ 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. ⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

Giacmo 1:2-8

² Fratelli miei, considerate una grande gioia quando venite a trovarvi in prove svariate, ³ sapendo che la prova della vostra fede produce costanza. ⁴ E la costanza compia pienamente l’opera sua in voi, perché siate perfetti e completi, di nulla mancanti. ⁵ Se poi qualcuno di voi manca di saggezza, la chieda a Dio che dona a tutti generosamente senza rinfacciare, e gli sarà data. ⁶ Ma la chieda con fede, senza dubitare; perché chi dubita è simile a un’onda del mare, agitata dal vento e spinta qua e là. ⁷ Un tale uomo non pensi di ricevere qualcosa dal Signore, ⁸ perché è di animo doppio, instabile in tutte le sue vie.

I read these versus today God's timing is always perfect. I praise you for testing our faith cause only when it is tested do we see and know our true hearts.

^{Psalm 121:1-2
1} I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
