Inner Prayer Against Enmity
Psalms 109:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 109 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist says his love is opposed, yet he gives himself to prayer. He notes that good is repaid with evil and love with hatred, pointing to a deeper inner dynamic.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the text is not about others, but about states of consciousness wearing the mask of friends and foes. The speaker’s love stands as a creative act in awareness, and the ‘adversaries’ are restless thoughts and the circumstances that arise when one dwells in higher love. I am that I AM, the awareness that gives itself to the good and then witnesses the world reflect it as opposition, misunderstanding, or betrayal. When I, the I, choose to give myself unto prayer, I align with the deeper law that imagination creates experience. The ‘they’ who reward me evil for good are echoes of an old script—an inner habit that says love deserves resistance. By praying, I refuse to answer from that old script and I revise it with the feeling of the wish fulfilled. My love does not force behavior; it awakens the inner observer to see through appearances and recognize oneness with the source of love. In time, that inner posture shifts the outer scene, turning enmity into quiet, transforming peace.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and declare, I AM the I AM, love in action. Then revise the scene: in your imagination, you encounter those who oppose you, but they respond with understanding and gratitude; let the feeling of the wish fulfilled flood you.
