Psalm 37:5-6 The Message
Tonight, I can't get away from the word "validation" - I didn't think I'd find it in Scripture, but I actually did in The Message. If you're looking for it, then this is for you. Sometimes it's hard to carry on when you think you've done so much but get very little back in terms of validating your actions or choices. I would lovingly offer that you ask God to change your perspective - go for God's but not man's.

God's Word has the answer to all our needs. Read what Psalm 37:1-9 has to say in the New Living Translation. You will find God's grace and favor.
Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither.
Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
Stop being angry! Turn from your rage! Do not lose your temper - it only leads to harm. For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.

Prayer:
Father,
We pray as David prayed, When we consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is mankind that You are mindful of us...? And yet, You have crowned us with glory and honor. You have made us to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under our feet. Forgive us for seeking man's approval when You have given all FOR us and TO us. Father, give us clean hands and pure hearts. Help us to be - and stay - focused on and live for only what is pure and holy and Your TRUTH. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
