Lilies Among Thorns

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.Find us on instagram : @ liliesamongthornspod Julie's : @ JuliannrvivasZeneth's : @ juliezenethfor more ways to find us click here: https://linktr.ee/liliesamongthornsTimecodes :0:00 - Intro1:00 - Lilies Among Thorns3:26 - Hidden but held8:40 - Struggling with comparison15:27 - Cosmetic surgery & Catholic scrupulosity23:56 - Comparison in your hidden years27:10 - Still waiting after nine days, nine months... years31:55 - False humility & despair 33:50 - Catholic eldest daughter44:48 - The prodigals son's brother47:20 - Praise God when you're in limbo51:00 - Catholics don't know how to discern anymore54:30 - God sees you59:47 - Hard pill to swallow, your vocation is connected to your salvation1:02:26 - Sacred heart of Jesus, i trust in you1:07:39 - Outro#Catholic #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney
