Lamentations 1:21-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker laments hardship and the delight of enemies at misfortune, while seeking accountability and a turning of the heart. It frames pain as a test of faith and a prompt to seek inner guidance.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, the sighing, the comfortless moment, and the imagined triumph of enemies are not external people but the state of your own consciousness. The verse records a mind convinced of separation, feeling slighted, and awaiting judgment; yet the moment God calls is the inner turning you achieve when you decide, 'I AM.' When you view the 'enemies' as thoughts arising to threaten your peace, you begin to understand that the last word belongs to you—the awareness that simply is. The injuries, the anguish, and the sense of being wronged are signs of belief in lack and of justice in your awareness. By choosing a new state of being and imagining relief as already yours, you replace retaliation with a confident I AM presence. The heart grows faint when you forget who you are; awaken to the truth that you and God are one, and your inner state will cast outward conditions into alignment with your new reality.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, hand on your chest, and repeat 'I AM' until you feel the presence as reality. Then revise a single limiting belief by stating, 'From this moment, my inner state is at rest, and the appearance of enemies dissolves into harmony.'
