Inner Crying, Inner Listening
Psalms 77:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 77 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalmist cries to God in trouble, seeks help by day and night, and finds his soul unable to be comforted; remembrance of God unsettles him and leaves him speechless.
Neville's Inner Vision
From Neville's vantage, the scene in Psalms 77:1-4 is not a drama of outer events but a study of your inner state. The voice that cries and pleads is the voice of a mind convinced of absence, yet still calling for a hearing from the I AM. To Neville, God is not somewhere over there but the very awareness through which you live your life; the 'day of trouble' is the moment your attention forgets that this awareness is your only reality. When the psalmist remembers God and is troubled, that memory is a shift in allegiance—from fear to a latent conviction that the inner state you seek already exists as consciousness. The sleepless night and the inability to speak reveal the mind's resistance; the phrase 'Thou holdest mine eyes waking' signals that you are under the sway of a higher attention that can reframe perception. You are not abandoned; you are being asked to entertain the assumption that your world is governed by the I AM, and that peace, like waking, is your natural posture. Your task is to revise fear by dwelling in the reminder that you are always heard within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the end you desire—that you are heard, held, and at peace by the I AM within; feel the relief as if this peace is already here.
