Psalms 5:1-2

Biblical Context

Psalm 5:1-2 asks God to hear the speaker's words and attend his meditation, declaring prayer to the King and God within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 5:1-2 reveals the speaker’s world as a field of inner states. 'Give ear' and 'consider my meditation' are not appeals to a distant God but invitations to attend the I AM within—your own Mind acting as King and God. Hearing the cry is an inner recognition: you are both the speaker and the listening presence. When you treat the cry as a petition to your divinity, you invite the imagination to align with a state of wholeness, not defeat. The prayer becomes a deliberate alignment of consciousness, a choosing of a state in which you are already heard because you are the hearing itself. The King within is not an external ruler but the steady presence of awareness that governs your thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. By cultivating this inner posture, you dissolve the sense of separation and awaken to the truth that prayer is an act of reviving your own nature. With patience, the outer world echoes the order established inside.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume you are heard by the I AM within. Silently declare 'I am heard' and 'I am the King within,' and feel the inner response as calm, guiding light.
