Consider the Lilies: When Anxiety Takes Over Your Thought Garden
by Laura Jenkins
Anxious people are often some of the strongest people—those who care deeply, strive for goodness, and feel the brokenness of this world most intensely. Yet beneath that strength often lies a longing: for rest, for release, for peace that doesn’t depend on control.
Consider the Lilies invites you to explore anxiety not as a failure of faith but as a tender signal calling you to consider—your thoughts, your body, your emotions, and your Savior’s presence. Through gentle reflection, Scripture, and compassionate guidance, you’ll learn to lean into anxiety with curiosity rather than shame, finding rest in the care of the One who clothes the lilies and calms the storms.
This is not a book of quick fixes or guilt. It’s a journey of surrender and rediscovery—a space to meet Jesus in your anxious thoughts, to breathe again, and to find that peace was never something you had to earn.
Come and consider your anxiety, your story, and your Savior’s steadfast love.
Your freedom from anxious living is waiting.
Testimonials
As I began to place my identity back in the one who created me I started to notice my thoughts shift. Instead of thinking negative thoughts of myself, I started to believe the wonderful truth that I am good because He is good. Instead of looking at my imperfections in the mirror, I would look at myself and say “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Constantly correcting my thoughts to God’s truths helped me tremendously when it came to finding my identity in him, and replacing Satan’s lies with bible verses allowed me to find joy that went beyond my circumstances.
Laura, I just finished reading your book, and wow. It’s incredible. I’ve told all my friends to get it because I think it’s amazing. I’ve read it every day for the past 18 days and I really feel like I have grown so much from it. I really needed to hear all the words you wrote and to be directed to all the verses in the chapters and I know I grew from the journaling and received such peace from the meditation. I just want to thank you for writing it because it is so special to my life now and has really helped me in huge ways the past couple of weeks. Thank you so much for writing it, I really look up to you!
The Thought Garden in my opinion is one of the best adult devotional workbooks available. Laura not only presents and explains a much-needed topic in today’s world but lends her expertise in mitigating negative thinking and suggesting mindfulness techniques that are data-driven and psychologically and emotionally important. I appreciate how she fluidly takes traditions like breathing exercises and meditation, which aren’t widely promoted in Christianity, and teaches the reader how to seek God in moments of solitude and study and how these techniques benefit the mind, body, and soul. It’s unlike any other devotional or workbook I’ve ever read before.
