Read 1 Samuel 1 in context

Scripture Focus

19And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

20Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

1 Samuel 1:19-20

Biblical Context

Hannah prays before the LORD; the LORD remembers her. She conceives a son.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, this passage reveals a state of consciousness rather than a distant event. The morning worship is you turning fully to the I AM, the divine awareness you are. When the text says the LORD remembered Hannah, translate that as your own awareness remembering the petition you are holding in mind. The conception and birth of Samuel symbolize a living idea arising from gratitude and steadfast faith—an inner purpose born from inner alignment. Samuel’s name—'asked of the LORD'—signals that what you seek is already granted within your consciousness; you simply awaken to it. Providence here is your inner guidance responding as you persist in the conviction that you are the I AM. This is true worship: the alignment of attention, belief, and feeling with a reality that your imagination, rightly used, has already created.

Practice This Now

Practice: in a quiet moment, assume the feeling of the fulfilled petition as if Samuel is already-born in you; affirm to yourself, 'I have remembered,' and rest in that reality for a minute.
