Abandoned to I Am: Psalm 22:1

Biblical Context
Psalm 22:1 records the cry of feeling forsaken and distant from help; the voice asks why God seems far away while the speaker’s roars rise.
Neville's Inner Vision
Where you hear 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' interpret it as a moment in consciousness, not a historical catastrophe. The psalmist speaks from a state of separation—a belief that help is distant and the inner roar has no source. Neville would say the cry is a signal you have identified with the idea that you are apart from the I AM. In truth, the only God you can know is the I AM you are, the awareness that never leaves you. To turn the scene around, refuse the notion of abandonment and return to the affirmed presence within: I AM here; I AM with you; I am your help. When you entertain this shift, the words of your roaring become energy you direct toward the sense of presence rather than demand. Remember, imagination creates reality; revise the inner scene until help, vitality, and communion are already yours. By feeling the reality of being seen and sustained by the I AM, you dissolve the impression of distance.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly, breathe, and silently declare 'I AM' as the presence that never left you. Then revise the scene by speaking inwardly, 'I am with you now; help is here,' until the sense of abandonment melts into felt assurance.
