In this episode of Lilies Among Thorns, we talk honestly about what it’s like to wait—without the filter. We share the quiet insecurities that rise when you feel hidden… the ache of wondering if God’s forgotten you… the doubt that creeps in when His timing doesn’t match your hope. And then there’s the comparison— Not just of who’s “moving forward,” but of beauty, worth, love, calling, purpose. When it seems like everyone else is seen, chosen, flourishing—and you’re still in the silence. This isn’t a pep talk. Not every episode ends on a high note. Sometimes, God invites us to stay in the ache. There are seasons of joy, but also seasons of sorrow—and even that is part of our purification. If you’re in a waiting season where everything feels uncertain… if comparison is stealing your peace… if you’re tired of pretending you’re okay—this episode is for you. We don’t have all the answers. We’re not here to fix it. We’re just here to be with you in it.
