Watchful Prayer Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, the 'they' are states of consciousness facing the inner threat of limitation. Prayer is not asking from out there; it is a reorientation of the I AM, the awareness that you are, in truth, the creator of your world. When Nehemiah says, 'Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God,' you recognize that your inner petition is the act of aligning with the desired state. The 'watch against them day and night' becomes the discipline of mental vigil: you refuse to dwell in fear or lapse into old stories and instead maintain an uninterrupted awareness of the new condition as already present. The enemy is not a person but the habit of doubt that keeps your attention tethered to lack. Through persistent feeling-as-if, you let the desired outcome emerge from the subconscious, guided by Providence and your own I AM. Your daily rhythm—prayer, then watch—is the practice of giving form to intention and turning toward the reality you affirm.
