المُرْتَابَ يُشْبِهُ مَوْجَ البَحْرِ حِينَ تَضْرِبُهُ الرِّيحُ وتُهَيِّجُهُ. فلا يَحْسَبَنَّ ذلِكَ الإِنْسَانُ أَنَّهُ سَيَأْخُذُ مِنَ الرَّبِّ شَيْئًا/The doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord
MOSUL, IRAQ - APRIL 16: The heavily damaged bell tower of Saint John's Church (Mar Yohanna) is pictured during an easter ceremony in the nearly deserted predominantly Christian Iraqi town of Qaraqosh on April 16, 2017 near Mosul, Iraq. Qaraqosh was retaken by Iraqi forces in 2016 during the offensive to capture the nearby city of Mosul from Islamic State but it remains almost completely deserted. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’The Lord replied, ‘If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea”, and it would obey you.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 17/05-10/:”The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’The Lord replied, ‘If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea”, and it would obey you. ‘Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from ploughing or tending sheep in the field, “Come here at once and take your place at the table”? Would you not rather say to him, “Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink”? Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, “We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!” ’”
The doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.” If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. Whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy,because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Letter of James 01/01-08/:”James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: Greetings. My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance;and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.”
