Nearness of God Within

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, these lines reveal that the 'LORD' you plead to is none other than the I AM you are presently aware of. When you cry 'Forsake me not,' you are not addressing a distant deity but awakening to the truth that your own consciousness cannot be separated from the source of all being. 'Be not far from me' becomes a declaration that awareness itself remains instantly present, just as salvation is the natural state of one who knows their true self. 'Make haste to help me' translates to the immediate action of your imagination—when you assume a scene of help, you are already experiencing it, because you are the sovereign mind that creates sensation and circumstance. To receive, you need only shift your state: dwell in the sense of unbroken presence, imagine the solution as real, and feel the emotion of rescue arising within you. Thus the cry is not a plea for a distant mercy but a turning of attention back to the indwelling, saving I AM that is always here, always ready, and always faithful to you.
