Inner Hearing of Psalm 86

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice the psalmist does not plead with a distant deity; he speaks from the inner I AM that already listens. The cry for ear and attention is a turning of consciousness toward itself, where prayer arises as an act of inner alignment. When trouble appears, you declare, in effect, 'I will call upon thee' by choosing an elevated assumption—the feeling that you are heard and already answered. The promise 'for thou wilt answer me' becomes not a forecast about outward events but a statement of the state you inhabit. As you dwell in that state, the mind's weather shifts: fear dissolves, clarity returns, and doors within swing open. In this light, you do not seek outside proof; you cultivate the inner signal that your world conforms to the resolution you assume in the I AM. Your awareness becomes the meeting place of supplication and response, and the answer manifests as a present, intimate assurance.
