The Inner Remnant Prayer

Isaiah 37:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 37 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
Isaiah 37:1-4

Biblical Context

King Hezekiah humbles himself, tears his clothes, and sends leaders to the prophet to plead with the Lord for the remnant. They acknowledge the danger and turn to God to hear and intervene.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the theater of Isaiah 37:1-4, the outer acts reveal inner dispositions. Hezekiah’s tearing of clothes and donning sackcloth symbolize turning from ordinary thought to the I AM that polices all events. The delegation to Isaiah is your inner counsel gathering courage and presenting to the Father the truth of your situation as you would a prayer. Rabshakeh's blasphemous threats become the clamor of doubt pressing at the threshold, asking you to concede defeat. Your prayer, then, is not asking a distant God to move; it is a revision of consciousness, a decision that the living God is present and attentive within you. When you persist in that assumption, the apparent crisis is heard by the I AM and reinterpreted as an invitation to demonstration. The remnant—your steadfast faith that remains when outer scenes scream otherwise—breathes, and providence begins to operate through you. In short, the state you inhabit becomes the world you inhabit; yield to the inner divine presence and witness events aligning with your inner decree.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare, I AM the Lord of my mind, hearing me now. Assume the feeling of the fulfilled outcome and stay in that inner state for several breaths, letting the outer scene conform.
