Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 31:9-10 records a cry for mercy amid deep grief that touches eye, soul, and body. It also describes life shortened by sighing and weakness tied to iniquity.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the scene of lament is not a distant history but an internal imagining. The 'LORD' you call upon is the I AM within—your own awareness that never leaves you. The grief that wears eye, soul, and bones is your belief in separation from energy, vitality, and mercy. When you listen to the cry of trouble, you are hearing the inner movement of a state you have unknowingly conceded as real. Neville teaches that all suffering is a state of consciousness awaiting revision. So, in this moment you can revise by affirming that mercy is your inherent nature now, not a distant petition. Assume you are already upheld by the I AM, that the 'years with sighing' are over because your consciousness has shifted into wholeness. By feeling as if this mercy is your immediate experience, your body begins to respond—eyes brightening, breath settling, bones relaxing—as the inner alignment manifests outwardly. This is not escaping pain but dissolving it by aligning with the truth of being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and repeat, 'I am mercy now,' until you feel your body soften. Let the inner I AM revise your sense of trouble as real.
