Psalm 13 Inner Light Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Psalm 13 the cry of abandonment is a signal, not of a deed done to you, but of a state you have forgotten. The psalmist persuades the self that God has forgotten him and that the adversary seems to triumph; you too have lived in such a moment when outer evidence claims your defeat. But remember: God is the I AM you are, and the face you seek is the light you awaken within. The 'sleep of death' and the enemy's boasting are the old dream figures that fade when perception is shifted from lack to presence. When you say 'lighten mine eyes,' you are requesting a revision of the entire scene—an inner revelation that turns fear into awareness, absence into presence, night into day. Your prayer is not to compel God to act, but to reclaim your own power to imagine rightly. As you dwell in the conviction that you are always seen by the Self, the apparent enemies lose their power, and the heart's sorrow evaporates into faith, trust, and a dawning certainty that you are eternally held by the I AM.
