John Trapp Complete Commentary - James 1:6

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Ver. 6. But let him ask in faith ] See Trapp on " Heb 11:6 " Nothing wavering ] We are too ready in temptation to doubt, yea, to hold it a duty to doubt.
