There is a gap between praying and receiving. Many would call it the waiting period. It is often the hardest part, where the devil loves to operate, and your confidence can be shaken. What do you do while you are waiting? Simply put. Fill that gap with thanks and praise. Typically, we only give thanks and praise when things are good, but the reality is that they have nothing to do with our feelings or circumstances. Thanks and praise are powerful weapons that help us exercise trust while we wait on God.
