Inner Waiting, Divine Inclination

Psalms 40:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 40 in context

Scripture Focus

1I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Psalms 40:1

Biblical Context

Patience marks the scene: the psalmist waits, and the Lord turns toward him. His cry is heard, showing that inner attention answers when faith remains steady.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 40:1 speaks not of a distant deity but of your own I AM, the steady awareness that cannot be shaken. 'Waiting patiently' is simply a discipline of keeping your attention fixed on the end you desire while letting go of fear or hurry. When the heart remains faithful, consciousness 'inclines unto me'—the inner pivot of attention turns toward you, elevating your vibration to meet your want. 'He heard my cry' signifies that your assumption has been acknowledged by your own inner state; the cry is the movement of longing, and the response is the return of conviction, not a distant event. In Neville's terms, you do not beg for mercy—you revise the situation by assuming the end, dwelling in the feeling of it as already real. Hold this state until the sense of continuity becomes natural and your external scene shifts to reflect it. Patience is not passive; it is the fearless fidelity of a mind that knows the I AM is always listening and ready to answer when you inhabit the truth of your own inner hearing.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the Lord has inclined toward you; feel the relief as if your cry is already answered. Sit in that state for 3–5 minutes today, revising any sense of delay until it becomes natural.
