Hearing The Inner Lord
Psalms 130:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 130 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 130:2 presents a request for the Lord to hear the speaker’s voice and attend to their supplications. It frames prayer as a calling on a listening inner presence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psychologically, this line reveals the truth that you are always speaking to the I AM within. When you say, 'Lord, hear my voice,' you are not asking an external deity to bend to your words; you are recognizing that your inner state must become aware of itself. The 'ear' that attends to your supplications is your own consciousness attending to the movements of desire within you. In Neville's terms, you are asking the I AM to align with the feeling that already is; you are testing your inner faith to be faithful to the impression that you are heard. The moment you assume that the listening presence is active, your experience shifts; you stop trying to get something from outside and begin to feel the reality of your wish as already granted. The discipline of true worship is obedience to your own state of consciousness—maintaining the conviction that the I AM is attentive to your petitions because you are the I AM who hears.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare 'I AM heard.' Hold the sense that the inner listening is already active, then move about as if your supplication has been answered.
