Psalms 143:11 Quickening Inner Soul

Neville's Inner Vision

Prayer is not asking a distant deity to intervene; it is turning to the I AM within and declaring the state you desire. When the psalmist says Quicken me... for thy name's sake, he is pointing to the inner principle by which you identify yourself. LORD is the living awareness you already are. To quicken is to awaken the dormant state of consciousness that believes itself separate, to reattach it to the steady stream of righteousness that flows from your true self. In Neville's terms, you don't beg for rescue; you revise the story until the feeling of relief is real. Hold the image of your own vitality as if it were already present, and let the trouble dissolve into that light. Lamentations become invitations to a new creation: your soul out of trouble because your consciousness shifts to the God-ward identity that cannot be troubled. Your name is the call you answer—the I AM—and its righteousness is the standard by which every event rearranges itself.
