Word of Encouragement Devotional by Stephanie R. Reck, LMSW, LBT, BCCC



Don’t Worry About the Outcome!

Reflect: Whatever has you concerned or worried about, leave those cares with God and trust that He will take care of what bothers you. Don’t try and figure out the outcome of how things that you’re concerned about will work out. Too much figuring out the outcomes to situations can leave you frustrated and anxious. As God shows you the next step, move forward. Getting ahead of God because of impatience can cause you to go through unnecessary troubles. As you move in accordance with the Holy Spirit’s leading you will find that you have not only God’s grace, but His strength and peace as well. When you don’t operate out of the Holy Spirit’s leading and do whatever you feel your flesh wants you to do, you will end up tired, irritable and unfulfilled.


Don’t worry about the outcomes of your prayers, just move forward when you are prompted by the Holy Spirit and don’t get confused by God’s silence. God’s silence does not mean He is not working or He has not heard your prayers, it means give Him an opportunity to work! Remain steadfast as you wait upon God to intercede with your concerns.


Meditate: Cast ALL your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
