Inner Father, Youth Guide

Jeremiah 3:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

4Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
Jeremiah 3:4

Biblical Context

The verse asks God to be recognized as Father and guide, inviting an intimate, ongoing relationship with the divine presence within. It signals that guidance and affection come from within, not from external authorities.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the cry in Jeremiah as an inner call to awaken to the I AM that never leaves you. The words 'My father' and 'the guide of my youth' are not about a distant deity but the recognition that God is the I AM within—the constant, parental presence guiding every impulse, every choice, every mood. In Neville's teaching, places and people are states of consciousness; when you say Father, you are naming the posture of attention that governs your inner weather. The 'youth' is the fresh energy of your present life, not a time long ago; when you treat it as guided, you stop seeking approval from without and start listening to the inner governor. To cry to God is to soften into the assumption that you are already in the company of your divine Father, that wisdom and discernment are your natural faculties. As you dwell in that state, the inner movements align with clarity, kindness, and purpose, turning presence into action and action into presence.

Practice This Now

Address the inner Father as 'My Father, you are the guide of my youth' and feel His presence guiding your next choice. Stay with that feeling until it becomes your immediate perception.
