Inward Prayers and Salvation

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the Neville lens, this verse is not about an external man praying at a distance, but about the inner man in a moment when consciousness feels mortal. 'In the days of his flesh' points to a human state of awareness that seems separated from the I AM; the 'prayers and supplications' are the persistent acts of imagination and feeling directed to the one within who can alter a frightened state. The 'strong crying and tears' are not for show but the soul’s earnest willingness to let go of limitation through a deeper trust. And the clause that he was 'heard... because he feared' can be read as: reverent fear—the surrendered, trusting mood—opens the inner hearing of the I AM, so that the state you fear is addressed by awareness itself. Your inner prayer is not petition to a distant deity but a turning of attention back to the self, where you are already loved, protected, and complete. When you persist in that inward prayer, you awaken the memory that you are the I AM and thus the very power to save you from the appearance of death in any form.
