Hearing Mercy Within Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, the cry is not about distance to God but an invitation to shift your inner state. Hear, O LORD, becomes the I AM listening to your own consciousness. The voice you cry with is the movement of desire in the subconscious, not a separate appeal. Mercy is the inner grace you are already; to ask for mercy is to align with the unconditional good that your awareness already knows. When you say 'and answer me,' you are declaring that your state has already received its resolve; the answer is the return of your own attention to its source. In Neville's terms, you do not seek God outside; you revise the inner sense of absence until your present state feels filled with mercy and the reply you want. Therefore, cultivate a posture of inward listening and the feeling of being heard by the I AM. Your world will adjust to reflect this internal alignment, and what you sought will appear as an outer sign of the inner consent.
