Silent Prayer, Inner Turning

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, this verse is not about others at a distance but about inner states. 'This people' points to habitual patterns within your own consciousness. To plead outwardly for a change while you hold to a condemned mindset keeps the change from taking root, for the I AM hears only from the revised state you now inhabit. The command to refrain from intercession becomes a summons to inner alignment: revise the assumption, feel the new truth, and let the end-state be your living reality. When you affirm that the pattern is dissolved and the living I AM within governs, the outer scene follows as evidence of your inward transformation. Accountability here is inward discipline: you choose the state that matches your desired outcome, rather than clinging to petitions that pretend a separation between you and what you seek.
