11 DAY ROUTE FROM EGYPT TO CANAAN Day 12 Accepting Canaan!!!

 2024.10.167

Dearest Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit

Here I am in Canaan, the promised land and I am so excited!!  I cannot wait to enter this new land, to begin a new life, to do things that You have planned for me even in my mother’s womb.

What if…

I  I do not like the new circumstances?

I  I am not able to do the things You ask of me?

I  I make mistakes again, big mistakes that cannot be rectified?

I  I cannot live with the money I receive?

I  I cannot go on in my circumstances?

I  I cannot buy myself a place to stay?

I  I have to live with my children for the rest of my life?

I  We have a big fight or my son asks me to leave?

I aI am scared…

I  Of the newness of everything

I  That I will just sit back and do nothing

I  That I would just get old and sit down, doing nothing

thI  To face the new me

I  To face new changes and challenges at my age

I  That I will just give over and not do anything

BBut:  I have already…

I  planted pot plants

I  bought tomatoes to plant in containers and let them hang down and eat fresh tomatoes every day

I  made a table of my talents, what I would love to do and what God wants me to do.

I  Begin to get excited about this new me, the new place, a new life

I  Tapped into a group and looked at available flats in the market.  Yes, it is not our neighborhood, but… I will adapt.  I am easily adaptable – lucky for that

I  Get rid of pride and everything that could hold me back

I  Organized my room so I could make food for myself if needed.

I  Accepted my circumstances

I  Made plans to move on with my life

I have to accept Canaan because…

I  This is where I am going to stay for the rest of my live

I  This is now the new me

I  God brought me to Canaan and kept me safe here

I  This is my new lifestyle

I  There is no other place I can go to

I  The desert and Red Sea are blocking me from going back to Egypt, and honestly, I never want to go back to Egypt again.  I’d rather stay here and face the newness of everything

I  This is the place You brought me to grow, expand my vision, be safe, and get peace in my life.

I  This is the promised land, where You are leading me into what I must do next!

I  This is the promised land where new excitement awaits me around every corner!  Why am I scared then?  It is going to be great.  I just have to take on the challenge.

I accept Canaan because…

I  It is new, exciting, and a vibrant new life for me to explore. I am just scared to start, scared that I will enjoy it more than I ever thought possible

I  God brought me out of Egypt and He thinks this new life is where I belong

I  I have a chance at a new life, new hope and new beginnings

I  It is the promised land, where God will take care of me.  How could I ever have doubted that?

I  The Lord will lead the way and take me on the right paths

I  Even if I make mistakes, God will help me straighten them out.  It is better to try and fail, than not to have tried at all.

I  It has the promise of being a wonderful land with new adventures waiting and new things just around the corner for me

I  I will be able to use my talents to God’s honor. And God will lead me on this road with kindness and goodness and show me the better way

I  It is soooo much better than Egypt was!

I  It is a new life, a new beginning, a new everything. 

I  I get a second chance at life without a husband to hold me back.  Life will just be what I make of it now.  No excuses or hiding behind someone else.

I  I want and need a new challenge in life, something that I can look forward to

I  You are there Lord, and I know You always watch out for me, lead me where You want me, and equip me!

I  This is the land You promised me years ago and I accept it now with thankfulness in my heart

I  You will lead me through green pastures and let me rest in You

Thank You Lord for …

I  Canaan and everything You have planned for me

I  Leading me out of Egypt, through the desert to this promised land

I  Being with me every step of my life!

I  Bringing me to a place where I am alone to make decisions You want me to make and to serve You with everything in me

I  Your kindness, goodness, and mercy over me

I  Holding my hand when I felt so alone in the desert

I  Giving me hope when things went so wrong in my life!!!

I  Bringing me to a place where I have peace

I  Helping me to say no to people – I think for the first time in my life!!!

I  Just holding me very close to Your heart and teaching me what I need to do every step of the way

I  Understanding that I am scared of this new road I have taken, but that You comfort me and lead me slowly into what You want me to do

I  Your patience with me, all the years in Egypt and now here in the promised land

I  Walking this road with me and never leaving me alone for one minute

I  Just being my best Friend in the universe and for understanding me, yet still loving me

I  Your goodness, mercy, and goodness

I  Canaan… the promised land

I accept…

I  Canaan … the promised land

I  Every challenge You will bring on my road

I  You helping me to bring my talents to the front and keeping them at the front

I  Your help and hand in my new life

I  You as my Leader, my Helper, my best Friend in the universe and my Adviser at all times

I  The challenges lying ahead

I  You as my only Helper, the only One that will always be there for me

I  You as the only One who really cares about me and my well-being

I  Your rules, Your regulations, Your Leadership in my life

I  Just resting in You if things are getting too much for me

I  That, from this day, I do not have a husband and I am not taking him into Canaan.  Please look at him Lord and help him to turn back to You

I  What You want for me in life Lord, only what You want

I  Loving You forever and You as my Bridegroom

I  That I will listen to my Bridegroom at all times and follow Your lead

I  Canaan as my new home until You want me to move to another place.  I will not kick against the spurs Lord, but will accept every step of this journey. 

I  That my eyes, ears, heart, body, soul, and being is now open only to God’s Leadership!!!

I  Every challenge that You bring me, Lord.  But please help me if I feel too weak and make me excited about the challenges You give me, because You know I can do it!

I  You, just You Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit

I  You as my Everything, the One I will run to with everything!!

I  This wonderful land You have given me and all the opportunities that go with it

I  You as my only Advisor, the One I will listen to and whose voice I will hear very clearly above everything else.  Thank You for that!!!

I  Only You and the promised land in my life – nothing else that You do not allow in my life!!!

Thank You for Canaan Lord!!!!!!!!!!!
