Inner Peace Reclaimed

Lamentations 3:17-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Lamentations 3 in context

Scripture Focus

17And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
19Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
Lamentations 3:17-20

Biblical Context

The verses confess a soul pulled from peace by painful memory, convinced its strength and hope are gone.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the speaker says God or the LORD has removed the soul from peace and that strength and hope perished from the LORD. In Neville's psychology, such words are not facts but currents of consciousness believed as real. Peace is not a distant condition but a state you momentarily inhabit within I AM. Wormwood and gall are memory-images; they exist only as you continue to identify with them. To reinterpret, you must change the inner narrative: dwell in the feeling that you are now in the realm of peace, prosperity, and strength as an already accomplished fact in the I AM that you are. See the memory of afflictions dissolve as you affirm: I am the peace of God now; prosperity is my present state; my strength and hope are renewed here and now in the LORD (the I AM). By imagining the psychical posture of abundance, you reverse the verse from a statement of loss into a doorway to revival. The essential act is assumption: the feeling of the wish fulfilled, repeatedly, until it becomes your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and declare: I am at peace now; prosperity is mine; my strength and hope are restored by the I AM. Then revise the memory by imagining the wormwood dissolving into light.
