Cast Not Off In Old Age

Psalms 71:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 71 in context

Scripture Focus

9Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
Psalms 71:9-11

Biblical Context

The psalmist asks not to be cast off in old age and seeks deliverance from those who accuse God of forsaking him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Old age here is a shifting state of consciousness, not a dead end of life. When the body weakens and inner enemies whisper that God has forsaken you, identify the I AM as the unchanging reality. The cry to cast off is a mental condition to be reversed by assuming a new plot: you are always attended by the Life that you are. The enemies’ council mirrors your old beliefs—fear, limitation, memory of failure. Replace it with the conviction that the I AM is present here and now; your deliverance comes from an inner recognizing, not an external rescue. Feel the reassurance as if it already occurred: you are not forsaken, you are held by the Presence that you are. Through imagination you rewrite the narrative and awaken to a future of vitality within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I AM with me now; feel the presence restoring strength. Then revise the sense of abandonment and imagine deliverance as already yours.
