About this audiobook

Read by the author.

Discover how to live freely and release your burdens with gospel meditations that turn your focus to the God who cares deeply for you.

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 The Way of the Wildflower, bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons invites you to draw inspiration for your weary soul from the flowers of the field through thirty gospel focused meditations covering five ways of the wildflower: Dependency, Freedom, Resilience, Unhurriedness, and Belovedness.

This gorgeous, full-color devotional features Ruth's 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

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.

“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? 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!” — Luke 12:25–28 (NIV)
