"Advent Optimisim"

[20th Dec]

In the Letter of James i am instructed to ask God for wisdom in faith, never doubting.  The passage ends:

"for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord"

Does this mean that the one who is certain, single-minded, stable in every way can expect to receive everything from the Lord?

i doubt,
my several minds
debate long into each night
Jewish scholars,  Buddhist monks
thrashing out the questions
until i am a shipwreck
stabilised by the rocks
on which i am thrown.

i expect,
further questions not replies
a moment's peace
for each hour's doubt
a fragment of certainty
in the midst of confusion.
