Inner Prayer of the Sojourner

Neville's Inner Vision

In this psalm, God is not a distant king but the I AM you awaken to within. The cry is the voice of a consciousness recognizing limitation, calling attention to a state that must be changed. 'Hear my prayer' becomes: I become aware of the desire that longs to be real; 'hold not thy peace at my tears' becomes: do not ignore the emotional signals but let them move me toward creation. 'I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner' translates to the inner truth that I am presently in a temporary condition within the greater Self, yet the divine presence travels with me. 'O spare me that I may recover strength' is the revision: claim your inner energy and resilience as already existing in I AM. 'before I go hence, and be no more' invites me to dissolve the old self by imagining a fresh vitality. Practice this by remaining with the feeling that I AM is listening to me, and allow imagination to restore what is worn.
