Inner Hearing and Hope
Psalms 38:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 38 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker trusts that God will hear him and places hope in that attentiveness. He fears that if he falters, his enemies will rejoice and magnify themselves, but his trust remains in the Lord.
Neville's Inner Vision
Did you notice the psalmist does not plead to a distant judge but to the I AM that already dwells within? 'In thee I hope' is a decision of consciousness, not a petition to change external fate. When he says 'thou wilt hear,' he names the constant listening of the self that never slumbers. The 'enemies' are the restless thoughts that threaten to rejoice over a slip, the inner chorus of doubt. To Neville's ear, the verse is a map: shift your inner state to the one that already has heard and answered. The moment you rest in the conviction 'I am heard by God,' the imagined scoffing of the inner critic loses power, and your foot does not slip in truth. The psalmist's cry becomes a law of consciousness: form the feeling of being heard and then live from that assurance. Providence isn't something happening to you; it is your inner alignment in which every external trial resolves into guidance.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe, and say to yourself, 'I am heard by God in this moment.' Then imagine stepping into a quiet inner court where the I AM listens, and revise any fear by affirming, 'I am always heard,' and proceed from that assured state.
