Turned Toward the I AM
Lamentations 5:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage voices a sense of abandonment—asking God to remember and turn them back. It also notes a perception of divine anger and rejection.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the language of forgetfulness and rejection is not about God at all, but about your state of consciousness. When you believe you are forgotten, your soul remains unturned to the I AM. The remedy is not begging the external God, but turning your attention inward, declaring 'I turn to The I AM' and choosing the feeling of reconciliation. The promise of 'renew our days as of old' is not a return to a past moment but a return to a remembered state of consciousness—when the self is fully aware of its oneness with God. In your imagination, you can revise the script: you are already forgiven, your days are renewed, and the voice of judgment dissolves as you dwell in the I AM. Renewal is not a future rescue but a present, embodied realization. When you dwell in that inner agreement, the outer scene aligns with it—reconciliation, mercy, and a new creation of yourself. The God you seek is your own awareness; God is I AM, not a distant judge. Persist in the assumption until the feeling of unity dominates your life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and repeat: 'I turn to the I AM now; I am reconciled; my days are renewed.' Feel the certainty as if it is already so.
