Neville's Inner Vision

Your body’s breath and its perceptions may pass, but your real I AM persists. Psalms 146:4 says the outward day ends, yet the I AM within remains; the God of Jacob is your indwelling supply. To have Him for your help is to treat your present state as already supported; hope is not a future event but a dynamic alignment of inner consciousness with the divine. When you revise the story from outer appearance to inner assurance, thoughts perish as transient signals, while inner awareness remains constant. This is the heartbeat of faith: you are upheld by a Providence that responds to the present you imagine. So stand in the seat of that God now, and happiness is truly yours as you live from this inner help.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and silently affirm: I am the God of Jacob’s help within me now. Feel the steady, unshakable support as you imagine the divine assisting you in this moment.
