Morning Solitude and Inner Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Rising in the morning, the 'great while before day' is the discipline of turning awareness away from outer concerns into the single I AM. The solitary place is not a place you visit but a state you enter when you stop listening to the world and begin listening to the divine within. In this scene, prayer is not a petition to an external power but a declaration of what you already are: the Presence that prays through you. When you believe your consciousness is one with the I AM, your imagination becomes the instrument of manifesting the state as fact. The early hour trains attention; faith grows as you persist in the felt sense of being in communion with God. The story you tell yourself—'I am in the Presence; I am whole'—rewrites outer conditions by lifting the premise from lack to abundance in spirit. Thus, true worship is the quiet acknowledgment that you are never separate from God but the waking of that one life in you.
