Inner Prayer Times
Psalms 55:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 55 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse commits to praying at evening, morning, and noon, with the conviction that God will hear the cry. It presents constant communion as a steadfast practice of faith.
Neville's Inner Vision
Three hours of prayer are not hours on a clock but three states of consciousness: evening, morning, and noon. They stand for rest, renewal, and decisive action within my awareness; by choosing to pray at these times I am choosing to dwell in the I AM that is always listening. When I say I will pray and cry aloud, I am not appealing to an external deity, but inviting the inner I AM to take possession of my mind; the cry is the bold demand of imagination that the unseen is made seen. And the verse's guarantee, 'he shall hear my voice,' is the recognition that consciousness hears itself when it is fully alert and aligned with its desire. Thus, the outer world follows the inner pattern: belief becomes experience as I persist in the assumption that the thing desired is already mine. The daily rhythm disciplines attention, tuning the entire being to the reality of fulfillment. Keep the feeling of the wish fulfilled as you dwell in these states, and you will hear the answer as an inner voice within your own heart.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, assume the wish is already done, and feel the gratitude as if you are heard now; then repeat this felt assumption at the three inner anchors—evening, morning, and noon—until it becomes your natural state.
