Revived; Single-minded. :)

The apostle James tells it like it is. He starts his letter with:

Count it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Charles Swindoll elaborates on this in his "The Quest for Character" (thanks to Andy for the recommendation):

I suggest we take this passage literally. "Unstable" means unstable. "Driven and tossed" means driven and tossed. Not receiving "anything" means just that. God deliberately holds back when the double-minded person prays. I call that serious.

How much better to be single-minded! No mumbo-jumbo. No religious phony-baloney. No say-one-thing-but-mean-something-else jive. No pharisaic hypocrisy where words come cheap and externals are sickeningly pious. The single-minded are short on creeds and long on deeds.

They care... really care. They are humble... truly humble. They love... genuinely love. They have character... authentic character. 

Mr. Swindoll also includes the following poem (thanks to Nelly for the more reader-friendly format):

Psalm of Single-mindedness

by Joseph Bayly

Lord of reality, make me real

Not plastic, synthetic, pretend phony

An actor playing out his part, hypocrite

I don’t want to keep a prayer list

But to pray

Nor agonise to find your will

But to obey what I already know

To argue theories of inspiration

But submit to your word

I don’t want to explain the difference

Between eros, philos and agape

But to love

I don’t want to sing as if I mean it

I want to mean it

I don’t want to tell it like it is

But to be it, like you want it

I don’t want to think another need me

But I need him, else I’m not complete

I don’t want to tell others how to do it

But to do it

To have to always be right

But admit it when I’m wrong

I don’t want to be a census taker

But an obstetrician

Nor an involved person, a professional

But a friend

I don’t want to be insensitive

But to hurt where other people hurt

Nor to say I know how you feel

But to say GOD knows

And I’ll try, if you’ll be patient with me

And meanwhile I’ll be quiet

I don’t want to scorn the clichés of others

But to mean everything I say

Including this

Truth as fresh as clear living water. I was and am suddenly revived... Matters clearing up... Single-minded. :)
