Gratitude as Inner Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

View this verse as a map of inner life. God is not a distant external force but the I AM within you—the Father of your inner Jesus Christ, the source of awareness. 'We give thanks' is the acknowledgment that your life is already suffused with good in consciousness; gratitude becomes a prevailing state, a constant tone of the mind. 'Praying always for you' is not ritual but a steady imaginal discipline: you hold in mind the well-being of the you that you are presently becoming, and thus you keep your attention on wholeness. In Neville's terms, grace and favor are the natural outflow of a fixed attitude of gratitude and the unwavering assumption that you and what you bless are already real. When you dwell in that grateful air, you invite scenes to unfold as if they have always been true inside you, and the outward conditions follow your inner state. The verse invites you to align your entire being with a single act of consciousness: I am grateful; I am praying; I am one with the good I seek for all.
