Inner Wilderness Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the wilderness Jesus seeks is not a place, but a state of attention where the mind is quiet and wholly turned to the I AM that you are. When he prays, he practices the art of assuming a consciousness that already possesses what he seeks. The moment you withdraw from the outer noise and sit in the stillness of your own I AM, you are praying. The 'wilderness' becomes your interior temple where faith is not a petition to a distant power but an alignment of imagination with the truth that God is within you as your most immediate awareness. The act of praying is not asking but consenting to the feeling that you are already the expression of divine presence; you revise your sense of self until your experiences reflect it. The outward events—rain, healing, or favor—follow the inner conviction. The key is to stay with the sense of 'it is done' in the present tense, even as you move through the day.
