“Still standing in the gap” is a phrase often used metaphorically to describe someone who continues to support or advocate for a cause, person, or group, especially in challenging circumstances. The “gap” in this context represents a metaphorical space or deficiency that needs to be filled or addressed, whether it be a lack of support, resources, or representation.

To “stand in the gap” means to actively take on the responsibilities or roles that others may neglect or avoid, thereby serving as a bridge or support system in challenging situations. When someone is described as “still standing in the gap,” it implies that despite obstacles or setbacks, they remain committed to their cause or duty, continuing to offer assistance, protection, or advocacy where it is needed most. This can involve providing emotional support, speaking out against injustice, or taking action to address issues that affect others. Being the voice for the least, lost and the left out.
