Quiet Trust Within Psalm 71:1
Psalms 71:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 71 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The speaker declares trust in the LORD and asks to be kept from confusion. It frames trust as the antidote to fear and uncertainty.
Neville's Inner Vision
As I read, I see the verse not as a plea to God apart from me, but as my own inner decree: I am the trust in the LORD within. The I AM stands as consciousness itself, the stable center that refuses to abandon me to confusion. When I assume that trust—feeling the I AM carrying me, aligned with Providence—I unlock a world where events bend to my settled state rather than shake it. The psalmist’s cry becomes a practical experiment: dwell in the awareness that you are already protected by the divine presence, and let the thought of uncertainty dissolve in the light of that certainty. Trust does not come from hoping outside of you; it arises from turning your attention to the inner governor of your life, who never wavered. By imagining yourself unchanged by confusion, you reveal the truth of your state, and you begin to experience guidance and steadiness here and now.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, feel the I AM at the center of you, and repeat 'In thee, O LORD, I put my trust' to anchor the inner trust. Revise a current fear by imagining it already resolved and carrying you with calm, as you move through the day.
