James 1:5-8 ESV 

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 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. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.  

Romans 10:17 ESV 

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. 

Luke 11:28 ESV 

But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”  

Jeremiah 33:3 ESV 

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 

Psalm 46:10 ESV  

Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”  

Proverbs 8:34-36 ESV 

Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. 35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord, 36  but he who fails to find me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”  

Luke 15:32 ESV 

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
