Prescription for Purpose

Stop Waiting for External Validation: Finding Contentment in God’s Pace


Listen Later

You’re praying, serving, and doing all the “right” things—but deep down, you’re still waiting for God to prove His love through external validation. The relationship, the career move, the glow-up, the house—all as receipts that your suffering wasn’t in vain.

This week’s Accountability Session is about breaking that cycle of disappointment and learning to trust God’s process without demanding proof. Dr. Sharla shares a birthday-week reflection on how God has been teaching her contentment, pace, and identity apart from external rewards—and why that shift is key to building a life that doesn’t exhaust you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why external validation will always leave you disappointed
  • How to recognize entitlement disguised as prayer requests
  • What Jesus’ baptism teaches us about true identity validation
  • How to trust God’s process even when the outcome doesn’t match your expectations
  • A practical planning framework (Eisenhower Matrix + CPR check-in) to set priorities that protect your peace and purpose

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with clarity on how to release the need for public proof, build your week with sustainable pace, and root your worth in Christ alone.
