Living in that in-between state—the gap—between the unanswered prayer requests and the manifestation of provision demands that we take a big breath of His love and exhale trust, ruthless trust. The secret to living in that gap between promise and provision is understanding this: “Godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6). Godliness, to me, means dwelling in God’s love, close to the heart of the Father, becoming one with Him. It means steadying my anxious thoughts by choosing to trust that though I do not see His provision, He will come through.
