Whether it\u2019s current national or international events, job-related stress, worries about our families, chronic health issues, personal relationships or a financial crisis, we don\u2019t have to look far to find the source of anxious, spinning thoughts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can I survive this season? What if \u2026 ? Who can I really count on?<\/p>\n

My own version typically involves a 3 a.m. wake-up call accompanied by a flurry of mental gymnastics as I think about every single task that needs to be done, rehearse conversations from the last few days, and try to work out the right answer to a myriad of challenges my family, career or business is facing.<\/p>\n

Tell me I\u2019m not the only one fighting for rest and peace.<\/p>\n

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS MIGHT BE CHANGING YOUR BRAIN IN SURPRISING WAYS, STUDY SUGGESTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

To some extent, the battle against anxious thoughts is one we\u2019ll always wrestle with. But as someone who follows Jesus, I believe there is a way of living that helps us release the burden of anxiety.<\/p>\n

In Luke 12:25-27, Jesus says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“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 wildflowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”<\/p>\n

The invitation to “consider the wildflowers” stops me in my tracks. Maybe it\u2019s because where I live \u2014 southwestern Colorado<\/a> \u2014 puts on a pretty spectacular display of wildflowers every summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent a considerable amount of time walking through fields of flowers, talking to the Lord and sitting with this invitation. I was inspired to write my new devotional, “<\/strong>The Way of the Wildflower,” while being in God\u2019s creation and realizing that if God takes care of the wildflowers, how much more will he take care of me?<\/p>\n

ONE TOXIC BEHAVIOR KILLS RELATIONSHIPS, LEADING HAPPINESS EXPERT WARNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Here are five specific “ways of the wildflower” that I believe, if embraced, will help us live unburdened, even in the midst of circumstances that tempt us to toil and spin.<\/p>\n

1. Wildflowers are dependent.<\/strong> They depend on God\u2019s timing<\/a>, the rainfall He allows, the seasons He has ordained and the ecosystem he has placed them in. They don\u2019t have landscapers, fertilizers or a daily watering schedule, and yet they thrive. When we embrace this way of the wildflower \u2014 not demanding a specific storyline, season or more ideal circumstance \u2014 we let go of hustle and depend entirely on the God who created us.<\/p>\n

2. Wildflowers are free.<\/strong> Free from worry, fear, fretting and caring for themselves. They\u2019re not worried about storms on the horizon, dragging baggage from yesterday or anxiously laboring their days away. They exist in the place God put them, crowned with the glory he gave them. When we embrace this way of the wildflower, we can know what it means to be unburdened by what isn\u2019t ours to fret about or carry.<\/p>\n

3. Wildflowers are resilient.<\/strong> They\u2019re found in all kinds of unlikely places, from arid fields to dusty highways and rocky outcroppings on mountain peaks where there\u2019s not even any soil to speak of. In fact, they seem to have a knack for springing up in conditions we\u2019d deem unfavorable for growth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When we who are in Christ embrace this way of the wildflower, we\u2019re not dependent on our own strength or tenacity. Our resilience is a gift of the God who sustains us, enabling and supplying us with what we need to persevere.<\/p>\n

4. Wildflowers are unhurried.<\/strong> When wildflowers aren\u2019t actively growing, they\u2019re dormant, which means there may not be any visible growth \u2014 but dormancy isn\u2019t death; it\u2019s rest. And it reminds us that wildflowers are never in a hurry to get to the next season or skip ahead to their blooming best.<\/p>\n

When we embrace this way of the wildflower, we slow down, refusing to rush the process or resent the slow, quiet or seemingly unproductive seasons of our lives, and instead rest in God\u2019s perfect timing.<\/p>\n

5. Wildflowers are beloved.<\/strong> I can\u2019t help but marvel that God creates, designs and assigns extraordinary detail and beauty to individual wildflowers for his good pleasure, whether or not they\u2019ve been discovered, identified or named.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No two wildflowers are alike \u2014 each comes with its own intricacies, details and specific traits. When we see the care with which God created wildflowers, we can\u2019t help but consider how beloved they truly are.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When we embrace this way of the wildflower, we remember that we are uniquely known and cared for by God \u2014 precious and valued, even when we feel small or hidden.<\/p>\n

In a world that encourages us to be independent, live within “acceptable” parameters, move on to the next thing when we meet resistance, skip to the good part and question our worth, living the way of the wildflower is certainly countercultural \u2014 but not impossible.<\/p>\n

The next time you wake up at 3 a.m., try considering the wildflowers and release your anxiety to the God who created you and promises to take care of you.<\/p>\n
