Psalms 31:22

Biblical Context

The speaker feared he was cut off from God's eyes in a moment of haste. Yet he affirms that God heard the voice of his supplications when he cried.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'I' you call God is always present as your own awareness. In this psalm you are shown that even when you cry out in a hurried sense of separation, the hearing is not outside you; it is the I AM within you that attends to your petition. The appearance of separation — 'in haste I am cut off from before thine eyes' — is a mental image. The moment you refuse that image and stand in the assumption that you are prior to all lack, you will feel your supplications already answered. Your prayer does not reach a distant deity; it rises from your own consciousness and is confirmed by the divine hearing aligning with the inner signal of your desire. Practice trusting the presence of God as your awareness, not as an external force. By persistently assuming the state 'I am heard by the I AM within,' you draw the response into your experience, transforming fear into calm assurance.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the sense of separation by affirming: 'I am seen by the I AM within; my supplications are heard now.' Then feel that reality by breathing into it.
