Set Your Face Toward God
Daniel 9:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Daniel 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Daniel 9:3 records him turning his face to the Lord and seeking God through prayer, supplications, fasting, and humility. It presents an inner posture of dependence and devotion rather than external ritual.
Neville's Inner Vision
Daniel’s act of setting his face toward the Lord God is not a physical motion alone, but a turning of consciousness. The face represents the direction of your awareness—the I AM that you truly are. When you set it toward God, you announce that your entire being will seek the invisible presence within. Prayer and supplications then become the inward dialogue you hold with your own divinity, a steady conversation that aligns every thought with the truth of your unity with God. Fasting and the symbols of sackcloth and ashes signify the humility and willingness to release outer cravings, not as penance but as a clearing so that the inner light can speak freely. The phrase “to seek” is your inner decision to persist in imagination, to treat the answer as already given and present. In this moment, nothing is separate from God, for God is the total field of awareness. The scene is not historical, but experiential: you practice until the sense of God’s nearness is your constant condition. As you abide in that posture, your world begins to reflect the truth you choose to inhabit.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: 'I set my face toward the Lord God now.' Feel the I AM as your immediate reality and let your inner dialogue grow into full trust, then move through your day in that assumed presence.
