Inner Praise and Mercy Endures

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 118:28-29 speaks not of a distant deity but of the intimate I AM within, the true you. 'Thou art my God' becomes the deliberate inner acknowledgment: I am perceiving God as the I AM here and now. 'I will praise thee, I will exalt thee' translates to choosing a state of reverent awareness and aligning every feeling with that truth. 'O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good' is the recognition that goodness is the nature of my consciousness, not a fickle circumstance. And 'his mercy endureth for ever' reveals the unbroken stream of mercy within the I AM, available whenever I shift identification from lack to abundance. In Neville's method, what you affirm internally is what you call forth; the inner dialogue forms your reality. When you dwell in the feeling of 'God is my God' and 'I praise,' you become the base reality that never ends, and the outer world follows as echo. The prayer is not outward ritual but inner conviction that you are already crowned with mercy and gratitude.
