Desolate Heart, Awakening I Am

Psalms 143:4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 143 in context

Scripture Focus

4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Psalms 143:4

Biblical Context

The speaker’s spirit feels overwhelmed, and the heart is desolate. This image points to an inner state longing for renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, this verse is not a complaint but a map of inner life. The spirit felt overwhelmed is simply the psychic weather that arises when a new state has not yet taken up residence. I am the I AM, the awareness that can observe, revise, and renew. When desolation shadows the heart, it is a signal to perform a revision, not a struggle. Do not fight the feeling; meet it with the conviction that imagination creates reality. Assume a different inner scene: I AM vitality now; I AM the comfort, guidance, and warmth at the center of this room. Let that assumption fill the space until it loosens the grip of desolation. Then feel gratitude rising as if the heart already revived. This is not pretend; it is the deliberate shift of consciousness that makes the unseen real. Persist in the new state, and you will find external appearances rearranging to match your inner atmosphere. The desolate image yields to a living presence—your own I AM, breathing, awake, and whole.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume 'I AM' is filling every corner of the heart; feel the revival as a palpable mood until the desolation dissolves. Then carry that feeling for a few breaths.
