Night Petition, Inner Salvation

Psalms 88:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 88 in context

Scripture Focus

1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
Psalms 88:1-3

Biblical Context

The psalm paints a night-deep cry for help, a petition pressed repeatedly amid deep trouble. It centers on seeking God’s attentive presence as the source of deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Neville's reading renders this psalm as an inner declaration, not a cry to a distant sky but a turning of awareness inward. LORD God of my salvation names the one awareness that saves by recognizing itself. The repeated cry day and night is the steady habit of attention, a state you sustain until your inner climate shifts. Let my prayer come before thee and incline thine ear describe the inner posture of listening to the voice that answers from within. To say my soul is full of troubles and that life draws near the grave is to name a belief in separation, not an external fate. By persisting in the mental act, you revise the scene from lack to the certainty that you are already complete, already loved, already saved by the awakening of I AM presence. Salvation here is not a future event but a present-tense realization within your own consciousness. When you claim the I AM as your own, the imagined vitality dissolves fear and reconstitutes life, here and now.

Practice This Now

Assume the state I am the salvation of my life and feel the inner ear turn toward your cry. Sit in stillness and imagine the I AM answering, carrying you from trouble into present peace.
