Daniel 9:4

Biblical Context

Daniel prays to the LORD, makes his confession, and acknowledges that God keeps covenant and mercy for those who love Him and keep His commandments. This reveals the inner law of consciousness at work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Daniel's prayer is not a plea to the heavens but a turning of your inner attention to the I AM within. The great and dreadful God is the awakened state of consciousness you call forth when you align with the law of being. The covenant is an inner agreement you renew between your wish and your discipline: love for God and obedience to your inner commandments. When you confess, you peel away the ego’s pretenses and reveal the truth that you and your source are one. Mercy arrives not as a distant gift, but as the liberating energy that flows when you meet your higher image with steadfast choice. Your prayer awakens the imagination to see yourself already in possession of your desire. The more you dwell in that image, the more the outer scene arranges itself to reflect the inner covenant: love, obedience, mercy, and enduring fulfillment emerge as you persist in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit, close your eyes, and declare, “I am the I AM; I have kept the covenant in thought and deed.” Feel the wish already fulfilled and revise any conflicting thought to align with that inner image; carry that feeling into today and act from it.
