1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

Psalms 10:1

Biblical Context

Psalm 10:1 expresses a feeling that God is distant in times of trouble, highlighting a perceived separation between the divine and the troubled heart.

Neville's Inner Vision

You perceive God as afar in times of trouble, yet distance is a habit of consciousness, not a truth. The I AM within you is the only reality; God is not distant but resident in your awareness. When you believe you stand apart, you invite loneliness and struggle. If you revise this inner state to, 'I am one with God now; I and the I AM are inseparable,' the sense of trouble loosens and your inner light arises. Your prayers shift from petition to recognition: you awaken to the fact that the divine presence is the ground of your seeing, and outward events respond to your inner alignment. The verse becomes a practical reminder to dwell in the awareness of God within, to feel that presence as real, and to let the mind rest in that truth until it radiates into experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and repeat silently: 'I am one with God; I AM within me now.' Feel a warm, inner light approaching and settling at the center of your chest, confirming the nearness of the divine I AM.
