Inner Comfort in Job 6:8-10
Job 6:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job longs for relief and even death, asking God to grant his wish. He remains faithful by confessing his words and seeking comfort through what he has learned from the Holy One.
Neville's Inner Vision
Job's longing for relief is not a plea to an external power but a signal of your inner state. The cry Oh that I might have my request reveals a mind clinging to a future moment of satisfaction. When you understand that God is the I AM within you, the destruction or cut me off becomes an inner ending of a former state, not a verdict on your being. The line about the words of the Holy One becomes your anchor: inner truth spoken by you through faith, that you are safe in the present. Your work is to revise the scene, to dwell in the feeling that the wish is already satisfied by the I AM; to feel the new reality now rather than waiting. As you persist in this imagining, the consciousness that holds the longing begins to shift, replacing fear with trust and endurance. This is how the soul endures trials: not by denying suffering, but by translating it into a new inner posture where comfort is the natural state of awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, revise the scene: I am comforted now; the I AM within me grants relief. Feel it real until the new state of peace asserts itself.
