Incense of Inner Prayer
Psalms 141:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 141 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist cries to God for swift hearing and presents his prayer as incense, with lifted hands signaling the evening sacrifice.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, this psalm reveals prayer as an inner event, not a distant ritual. Your cry is a movement of consciousness toward assurance that you are the I AM and that you are heard. 'Make haste' becomes a refusal of delay in your inner awareness, while 'let my prayer' ascend as incense denotes the continual offering of your desire to the One within you who listens. The 'lifting up of my hands' is a surrender of resistance and a practice of attention to the felt state of the wish fulfilled as the evening sacrifice. The hearing you seek is not from a person outside, but from your own awareness recognizing the call. Repeat inwardly: I am heard; I am attended to; my request is already granted in the timeless I AM within me. When this recognition takes hold, outer conditions align with your inner state, and fulfillment becomes present in your life.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I am heard now.' Then rest in the feeling of the wish fulfilled as if it is already yours.
