Delight in Upright Prayer
Proverbs 15:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Proverbs 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse contrasts outward sacrifices with the upright's inward petition, showing that true worship rests in the disposition of the heart rather than ritual.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, the verse invites you to see the 'sacrifice' as an outward thing, a habit of ritual that boasts of control. Yet God is not stirred by mere forms; He is the I AM—the awareness you are—and the only altar He accepts is your state of consciousness that knows Himself. When you imagine yourself as upright—the you who lives in oneness with All—your prayer is already delightful to the Lord because it is offered in the currency of being, not begging in separation. The wicked's 'sacrifice' is a mind that refuses its divine origin, a posture of doubt; the upright's prayer is deliberate alignment with the truth of your I AM. Do not chase signs, but embody the state you seek. When you feel the reality of your unity, you are praying in the language God listens to: the language of consciousness. Thus the verse becomes a practical map: revise until your inner sight confirms what you desire, and the outer world will follow as the effect of your inner conversion.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: sit in stillness and assume the state of the upright now, repeating 'I am the upright, and my prayer delights God' until the feeling of oneness lands in your chest. Then let the sense of answered prayer rise as your present reality.
