Inner Orphans and Provision
Lamentations 5:3-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Lamentations 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse presents a people stripped of support—orphans, widows, water and wood bought with money—highlighting poverty and the fragility of family ties. It points to a condition that feels unmoored and dependent on others.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville Goddard lens, these lines reveal not merely poverty but an inner weather map. When you hear 'we are orphans and widows,' take it as states of consciousness that arise when you forget your true Source. The demand that water be bought and wood sold speaks of life organized by barter with lack rather than flowing from the I AM who supplies all. The verse invites you to notice how your inner sense of support can feel suspended and how identity can tilt toward vulnerability. The remedy is to assume a new inner state: you are the I AM, the self who furnishes every need. When you imagine yourself as already supplied—water that never drains, wood that is always at hand—the feeling of abandonment loosens its grip, and your outer world tends to align with the revised imagination. Do not fight the lack; outshine it with the certainty of inner presence. Your imagining becomes the means by which the inner reordered state becomes visible as circumstance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise: I am the I AM, source of all provision; feel the water flowing freely and the wood appearing as if by grace, now. Maintain that feeling for a minute and watch your sense of lack melt into sufficiency.
