Prayer Behind the Wall

Neville's Inner Vision

Turning his face to the wall, Hezekiah performs the symbolic act of turning away from appearances toward consciousness. In Neville’s sense, prayer is not a plea to alter outward events but a deliberate shift in one’s state of awareness. The wall marks a boundary where external noise yields to the quiet I AM within. When he speaks, he anchors a truth about himself as awareness—God present as the I AM. Your petition is the inner agreement that the desired end is already true in the reality of your being. As you maintain that inner image with steady feeling, outer events begin to realign to mirror your inner certainty. The Lord’s response comes not as negotiation with fate but as the natural law of consciousness confirming what you have assumed. Practice this: treat your inner state as the actual world; the moment you affirm, you become the known presence wherever you stand.
