Inner Prayer in Silence
Lamentations 3:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse voices the feeling of crying out and experiencing God as silent or distant. It captures the ache of petition without apparent external response.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember, you are the I AM that answers in your own consciousness. When the cry seems to be shut out, the fault is not in God but in the voice that clings to lack. Prayer, in this light, is an inner movement, a shift of state rather than a petition to an external judge. The moment you feel unheard, you have slipped into a sense of separation; return to the awareness that you are the I AM, the very presence that breathes and perceives. In the hush, decide to imagine that the answer is already given, not pending. Repeat softly, 'I am heard. I am loved. I am.' But let it be more than words; let the feeling of the wish fulfilled flood your being until your inner weather aligns with the fulfillment. See a scene in your imagination where the need is met and the outer world must reflect the inner certainty. The verse becomes an invitation to revise your sense of hearing—from petition to the acknowledgment of inner communion and oneness with the divine I AM.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your present center; imagine the need already met and feel the inner certainty rising.
