Hearing the Inner Call Psalm 4:1

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Psalm 4:1 as a manual for consciousness. God of my righteousness is not a distance figure but the I AM within you, the steady witness whose hearing is your own awareness. When distress presses, you do not fall into prayer as a plea; you widen the field of your being. The word enlarged is your invitation to expand the sense of self beyond fear, beyond lack, into the spacious presence of your true nature. Hear me when I call becomes a statement of observation: I call, therefore I am heard because I am the I AM that hears. Mercy is not granted from without; it is the compassionate response of consciousness that recognizes itself. Your prayer lands because you align with the reality you already are: a being who is heard and delivered by the inner ruler of your life. Practice shifts in the moment of distress, noticing that the problem is a disturbance in consciousness, not in the world. Return to I AM, enlarge, and let the feeling of being held by a benevolent presence become your immediate experience.
