Pure Inner Prayer Within
Job 16:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job asserts he has done no injustice and that his prayer is pure.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this brief verse, the conditions of guilt or innocence are states of consciousness, not external verdicts. You are not proving you are pure by proof in the world, you are recognizing the inner fact that I AM is your true self; your prayer then becomes the mirror of that inner state. When Job declares 'not for any injustice in mine hands,' he is telling you that the outer world can only mirror the inner state you believe as real. Therefore, treat the verse as a guide to revise your sense of self: if you insist that you are pure of motive and capable of praying in truth, your imaginative act becomes the fact by which things respond. Your prayer is not a request to change external conditions alone; it is the confirmation of the state of consciousness that produces them. By treating innocence as your real condition, you stop battling symptoms and begin reorganizing the seed of your experience at the level of consciousness. The verse invites you to live as if your motive and petition are already sound, and in that willingness, you awaken to the reality of your I AM and its power to shape life.
Practice This Now
Assume the state now: I am innocent, my prayer is pure. Feel it real in your chest and imagine a scene where this inner purity brings harmony into your life.
