Inner Counsel Through Sorrow
Psalms 13:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse shows a speaker who keeps consulting sorrow within his own mind and asks how long the inner distress and a perceived foe will prevail. It frames sorrow as an inner condition that shapes experience, not merely external circumstance.
Neville's Inner Vision
Notice that the psalmist attributes his life to the inner counsel of the mind, asking for time while sorrow sits in the heart. In Neville’s terms, the true enemy is a persistent belief of lack held in consciousness, an exalted thought that shadows your I AM. God is the I AM within; awareness is the only power. Psalms 13:2 invites you to stop bargaining with that inner weather and to revise your state until it feels real. Do not argue with the world; assume the end already attained and dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. See yourself as the ruler of your experience, not a victim to appearances. When you hold to the end, the 'enemy' loses its grip because you have shifted your state from doubt to certainty. The trial then becomes a signal to practice, a turning of attention from problem to solution. You are not waiting for life; you are choosing the life you intend to wake into through faithful imagination.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Immediately revise the inner scene by declaring 'I AM' as the power and feeling the wish fulfilled. Assume peace now and allow the outer scene to reflect your inner victory.
