Inner Turn Toward the I AM
Lamentations 3:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker feels God has turned against him and affliction is continual. His flesh is worn and his bones seem broken, a deep sense of deterioration.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this passage the sense of opposition is not an external decree but a state of consciousness you have entertained. The line 'against me' and 'hand against me' marks a habitual mood you carry, where life appears to press you from every side and your body seems to bear the weight of that belief. Neville’s method invites you to recognize that God is the I AM within you, and reality flows from your inner state, not from an outside oppressor. To revise, you do not argue with the scene; you shift the assumption you are living from. Imagine that nothing opposes the good you seek, that your flesh and bones are sustained by a steadfast awareness, that your foundation is secure in the I AM that you are. Speak and feel from that new state until the old image dissolves into the calm certainty of your true nature. When you inhabit this awareness, the apparent 'opposition' loses its grip and becomes a mirror of your previous beliefs, now rewritten.
Practice This Now
Assume a new state now: feel 'I AM' as your present, unassailable reality and revise the scene by affirming, 'I AM whole and unopposed.' Then imagine a steady hand supporting you as vitality returns.
