The Way of the Wildflower: Gospel Meditations to Unburden Your Anxious Soul
Wildflowers don't need to be taught how to live freely or release their burdens. They’re dependent on their Maker.

Are you looking for a new way of living? A way to stop anxious thoughts and release heavy burdens you aren’t meant to carry?

In Luke 12:25–28, Jesus asks, “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?” He continues, “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!”

In The Way of the Wildflower, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons invites you to live like the flowers of the field through thirty gospel meditations covering five ways of the wildflower: Dependency, Freedom, Resilience, Unhurriedness, and Belovedness.

This gorgeous, full-color devotional features Simons’ signature art and stunning hand-painted botanicals, alongside:

  • Bible verses to meditate on
  • Practical applications of God’s Word
  • Key truths to preach to yourself when you feel burdened
  • Prayers to help you practice the way of the wildflower
  • Wildflower facts and the lessons we can learn from them

The Jesus who instructs us not to worry about our lives is the same Jesus who made a way to the Father for us when there was no way. Is anything too hard for our God? Are any of your worries and fears beyond his capable hands?

If you're wrestling with your past, struggling in your present, or fearful for your future, pause and be still. Consider how the wildflowers grow, remember that the God who cares for them cares for you, too, and let your anxious soul find rest in Him.
