Petition as Inner Invocation

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the letter Hezekiah received as a symbol of your present thought-feelings pressed into outer form. In Neville's language, the scene is not about politics or history, but about your own consciousness receiving a demand from life and answering from the I AM within. Hezekiah removes the letter from plain sight and presents it to God; so do you, when you take a troubling circumstance and spread it before the Lord in your inner temple. The act of prayer is not begging; it is recognizing that the I AM is the substance and ruler of all you are aware of. As you read, you must feel the letter dissolving into a signal that your beliefs are viable, that your inner state can respond with a solution. Your faith becomes a practiced act of assumption: you assume the end already accomplished, you revise any fear by aligning with the Presence you know as God in you, and you persist in the feeling that the situation is resolved in harmony with your true state. The presence of God is not distant; it is your ongoing awareness of I AM.
