Plain Path Prayer: Psalms 27:11

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 27:11 speaks not to a distant God but to the I AM within you, the awareness that knows the way. Teach me thy way becomes a demand: awaken a state of consciousness that recognizes the right pattern of thought and feeling. The plain path is a plain state of alignment, a straight line of living that requires no fear, no elaborate schemes, only quiet trust. The enemies are not persons but inner disturbances—doubt, confusion, and the habit of reacting to appearances. When you accept that you are already led by the divine, the path shifts to simplicity; you walk as one whose attention is fixed on the present sense of rightness, not the storm. Each moment becomes a rendering of the I AM; your decisions, moods, and actions reflect that straight line of consciousness. Providence is your own seeing, your imaginal posture that refuses turmoil and yields to a plain, gentle movement forward. In this light, petition becomes acknowledgment: I am that I AM, and thus the way appears.
