Esther’s Inner Petition
Esther 7:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Esther 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Esther tells the king that if she has found favor, her life should be spared and her people saved. The plea rests on mercy and the desire to protect her entire community.
Neville's Inner Vision
Esther speaks to the king as the I AM within the self—the ruling consciousness that can grant life. Her plea rests on the premise of favor already acknowledged in the mind: If I have found favor in thy sight. The life she seeks to spare and the people she asks to save are not external subjects but inner conditions you wish to preserve in awareness: vitality, harmony, and the unity of habit and intention. By presenting the petition, Esther demonstrates how a state of consciousness can revise itself from fear to assurance. When you treat life as already given, when you claim mercy as your present condition, you align with the inner king and release the energy that produces outer relief. The grace you seek is the natural response of a mind that accepts its own sovereignty over experience. So, practice this: enter the scene as if you stand before the I AM, declare your life and your people are yours by revision, and remain in the feeling of the wish fulfilled until doubt dissolves and reality mirrors the end you chose.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the inner king bowing to your petition, whispering Yes. Revise your state to I am the life now granted; all parts of my being and my world are in harmony, and breathe into the felt sense of sufficiency.
