Inner Court of the I AM
Lamentations 3:59-61 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verses describe a soul who feels wronged, asks the Lord to judge their case, and notes that enemies’ imagined plots and reproach are present.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville Goddard's reading, the LORD invoked is the I AM—the awareness that you are. The so-called 'wrong' is a misalignment within your own consciousness, while 'vengeance' and 'imaginations' are thoughts your mind has entertained, not external facts. When you plead for judgment, you are really inviting a shift of state: you enter the inner court where your consciousness already declares you justified and complete. Do not strive against appearances; revise them by assuming the judge is within and that the verdict is already given in your favor by the I AM. As you sustain that inner state, the images of attack lose power and gradually fade into quiet. Your world mirrors your awareness: choosing to see yourself through the truth of the I AM dissolves imagined opposition and leaves you resting in the certainty of your divine image, loved, protected, and rightful in that image.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and enter the inner court; affirm, 'I AM the judge; I see only my perfect nature.' Then rest in the felt sense that the case is already settled in your favor.
