Inner Petition to the King Within
Jeremiah 37:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah pleads with the king to hear his request and grant mercy. He fears being sent back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for that would mean death.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner realm, the king represents your I AM awareness, the sovereign center of perception. Jeremiah’s plea is your soul’s petition to this higher self: hear me now, accept my request, so I need not return to the old script—the “house of Jonathan the scribe”—where fear and limitation once thrived. The verse is not about a historical throne but about a conscious state: you choose the state you inhabit by the assumptions you hold. When you imagine the king’s consent, you align your inner conviction with the reality you desire. The slightest inner ‘Yes’ dissolves the old fatalism and births a new expectancy—mercy, protection, and life. Your petition is effective not by pleading to the world, but by affirming your I AM’s authority over all prior determinations. Do not chase external signs; reconfigure your inner meaning until you feel yourself as the one who is heard, freed, and within mercy’s domain.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, place a hand on your chest, and mentally declare, 'I am heard by the King Within; I am free from the old script.' Then revise any fear with a vivid image of mercy guiding your next moment.
