Psalm 27:7-9 Inner Petition

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner listener, Psalm 27:7-9 whispers that the loud cry is not external supplication, but a gracious turning of you toward your own I AM. Hear the cry; let it be taken into the consciousness that 'I' am awake to every movement of desire. When the verse says, 'Seek ye my face,' you respond, 'Thy face, LORD, will I seek' — an inner decision to align attention with the living presence that already answers you. 'Hide not thy face far from me' translates as a revision: release any feeling of abandonment and recall that you have always been helped; salvation is the state of awareness in which you rest in mercy rather than in fear. The assurance lies in seeing God as your salvation—the ongoing act of awareness that preserves you. If you feel distant, treat distance as a belief to be dissolved, and dwell in the certainty that the I AM is the light behind every experience. Your prayer becomes a practice of turning within, and mercy becomes the atmosphere of your day.
