Inner Mercy Unfolds

Neville's Inner Vision

Blessings arise when you see prayer as a movement of your inner I AM, not a request sent to a distant God. The words Blessed be God declare that the inner presence has not turned away your petition, for the I AM is mercy itself, an unfailing partner to your becoming. In this view, mercy is not withheld but realized as your own state of consciousness. To live in the awareness that God is present is to dwell in the grace and favor that your petition implies. The verse teaches that your prayer finds its answer in the continuity of inner attention: when you keep faith, you do not depart from the sense of being answered. Your feelings of lack dissolve as you become simply aware of the I AM witnessing your desire as already fulfilled. Thus you stand blessed, not because an external decree changed, but because your inner atmosphere has shifted into approval and mercy. Practice this by re-living the supplication as a resolved fact, feeling now what you would feel as if the answer were already granted, and letting the sense of presence govern your day.
