I AM: Hope From Youth

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, this Psalm is not history but an inner disclosure. 'Thou art my hope' is not a plea to an external deity; it is the recognition that the I AM, the self-aware presence within, is hope itself. 'Thou art my trust from my youth' declares that trust is a condition of consciousness, not a contingent outcome of events. In Neville’s psychology, you are the one who believes you are loved, guided, and supported by your own inner state. By identifying God with your own awareness, you erase the boundary between prayer and principle: what you trust becomes your experienced world. The verse invites you to revision: assume now the truth that you have always been tended by divine consciousness, and feel that timeless trust as a present fact. When you live from that assumption, fear loosens its grip because the inner eye sees a consistent order—your inner God as the constant path, not a distant rescuer. Rest in the felt reality that your youth of trust is a perpetual flame within, always bright, always guiding.
