When It Feels Like Everyone Else Has the Life You Wanted

What do you do when it feels like everyone else is getting to enjoy the life you prayed for?

Today we’re talking about disappointment, unanswered prayers, jealousy, seasons of waiting, and struggling to trust God’s timing. I call it the “pain comparison trap” and it’s HARD, y’all. Comparison can slowly steal your peace and distort your view of yourself and God!

If you’ve ever wondered why everyone else seems to be moving forward while you feel stuck, forgotten, or overlooked by God, this conversation is for you. Your pain is not invisible, and God has not forgotten you. And I want to acknowledge your sadness. I feel it too. Don't discount your pain.

If you’ve been wrestling with discouragement, unmet expectations, loneliness, singleness, grief, healing, or feeling emotionally exhausted from watching everyone else “win,” pull up a seat and let’s chat through a few stories of comparison in the Bible.

Cain and Abel – Genesis 4
Rachel and Leah – Genesis 29-30
Saul and David – 1 Samuel 18
Joseph and his brothers – Genesis 37
