From Fear to Faith: Inner Trust

Neville's Inner Vision

Whenever fear rises, I remember it is but a state of consciousness, not a fact about me. The time I am afraid signals a choice: return to the I AM that trusts God. God is inside me as the I AM; the word of God is the living principle within my awareness. To 'trust in thee' is to dwell in that inner assurance here and now, not in the fluctuations of sense. When I say, 'In God I will praise his word,' I am praising the governing law that animates my life—the inner Word that proves itself as reality when I assume it. I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me means the outer appearance cannot move my inner state. The true worship is the steady attention to this inner trust, the seeing with spiritual sight that Providence guides every step. Thus hope and future unfold as I remain in this consciousness.
