“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault.”
James 1:5
You can ask for wisdom while you are still figuring things out.
James tells pressured believers to ask God for wisdom, not to pretend they already have answers. College can create a similar feeling of uncertainty, although it is not the situation James originally addressed. Classes, friendships, work shifts, bills, and questions about identity can collide in the same week. Asking for wisdom is a way to take those choices seriously without expecting yourself to have an entire life plan now.
