Inner Refuge Psalm Practice
Psalms 142:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 142 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Verse 5–6 portrays crying to God, acknowledging Him as refuge and portion in the land of the living, and asking for deliverance from stronger enemies. It invites a shift from fear to inner trust.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, the LORD is not a distant being but your I AM presence—the constant awareness that you are. The land of the living is the present moment, your arena of consciousness; your refuge and portion are the inner supply that the I AM provides. Your cry is not a plea to a far-off ruler but a turn of attention toward the witness within, the I AM that attends to all conditions. The persecutors—fear, pressure, and limitation—exist only as pictures within your state; they claim strength only when you identify with them. When you affirm, thou art my refuge and my portion, you revise the scene from lack to sufficiency. The deliverance you seek is the awakening to your own I AM presence; the stronger elements dissolve as you assume the inner throne. In short, you do not beg for help; you awaken to the helper within, and the outer circumstances respond to the inner conclusion you hold about yourself.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and state I am my refuge and my portion; the I AM attends to my cry. Feel the protection as real and see deliverance as already mine in the present moment.
