Inner Rock and Shelter

Psalms 61:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 61 in context

Scripture Focus

1Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Psalms 61:1-3

Biblical Context

The psalm expresses a cry for help, a confession of overwhelm, and a request to be guided to safety and a higher, steadier place.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the cry as the ignition of inner imagination. The God addressed is the I AM within you; the 'end of the earth' marks your farthest edge of thought where you feel overwhelmed. Instead of petitioning for external relief, revise your state of consciousness to inhabit the Rock that is higher than your current view. In that Rock you are sheltered and the storm loses its claim, for the fortress is a state of mind—unshakable awareness that cannot be uprooted by appearances. The 'strong tower' is the discipline of attention and faith in the I AM, a protective vantage point from which fear dissolves. When you assume you are already led into this higher space, you align with a new order: your scenes bend toward safety, provision, and guidance, guided by consciousness rather than circumstance. The verse thus becomes a practical instruction: dwell in the I AM, let the Rock be your present experience, and watch the external world respond to your inner alignment.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, repeat 'I AM' until the breath smooths; then imagine stepping onto a rock higher than your current scene, feeling shelter and strength holding you.
