Peaceful Petition Realized
1 Samuel 1:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Eli blesses the petitioner with peace, signaling that the inner God grants what is asked. The verse centers on prayer as a state of consciousness rather than a distant event.
Neville's Inner Vision
Go in peace is not a command to await an outcome but a call to settle into the I AM, the God of Israel within. The blessing spoken by Eli reflects the truth that the I AM is already the grantor of your petition; your petition is produced by your own consciousness. In Neville’s terms, the petition isn’t something to be found outside yourself but something imagined into being as you assume the state of answered prayer. The God of Israel is the I AM you are; the petition is your willingness to align with that awareness. When you dwell in this consent, you stop oscillating between lack and fulfillment and anchor the feeling that the petition is already granted. Picture the resolution as present, feel the relief, and allow inner peace to descend. Observable events then harmonize with the inner settlement, for the verse invites present-tense faith: through steady assumption, your request becomes your realized experience.
Practice This Now
Assume right now that your petition is granted; feel the certainty of that within the I AM and let the peace of that realization guide your day.
