Read Psalms 141 in context

Scripture Focus

1Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

2Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Psalms 141:1-3

Biblical Context

The speaker prays for God to hear and hasten aid, sees prayer as incense and worship as deliberate sacrifice, and requests a guard over the mouth.

Neville's Inner Vision

The voice of Psalms 141:1-3 invites you to enter the throne room of your own I AM. The cry for haste is a demand that your awareness align with a state of readiness here and now; prayer is the incense by which your inner life rises to the One within. Lifting the hands becomes the posture of a heart already convinced of its worth and ability to receive. Setting a watch before the mouth and guarding the lips is the discipline of your self-talk: you replace doubt, fret, and compromise with reverent, concise articulation that corresponds to the state you desire. In Neville’s psychology, every petition is a revision of your current state, a move from mere hope to the realization that you already inhabit the answer. When you dwell in the I AM, the external world follows as consequence, manifesting clarity, protection, and integrity as the natural expression of an awakened consciousness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and, in present-tense, declare, 'I am heard by the I AM; my words rise as incense.' Then revise your next anxious utterance into a calm, reverent petition and feel it real as if already done.
