"...because he who doubts is like a a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." (Jm 1:7)
I never doubt that God can do it, but I do wonder if he will do it. Is that doubt?
"but, each one is tempted when, by his won evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." (Jm 1: 14-15)
So many times when I have found myself caught up in sin, I wish these steps (temptation, dragged away, enticed, conceive sin, birth sin, sin, death) would be as long and drawn out as this verse almost makes them sound. Unfortunately, these steps usually take about 30 seconds, if that.
Are any of your mirrors broke? I think mine is. Let me explain. In my head, I often think that I am much smaller than I really am. Then I look into the mirror and I get a puzzled look as if to say, "Are you sure, 'cuz I thought I was a size 9?"
James calls us to look into the mirror. What reflection do you see? Do you see a woman who knows what the word says or are you a woman who knows and does what the word says?

Excellent question about whether or not it's doubt when you wonder if God will answer your prayer like you want it to be answered. I've wondered that, too. Anyone have any insight?
By the way, you should be in bed before 1 a.m.
