Mourning Eye, Waking Prayer
Psalms 88:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 88 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of mourning due to affliction, yet the speaker persists in prayer, lifting hands toward God.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this psalm the mourning eye is a symbol of your present state of consciousness under pressure. The daily calling upon LORD is your unwavering assumption that you are already heard by the I AM within. The outstretched hands are not begging for change but signaling faith—the posture of receiving. Neville would tell you that God is not a distant force to be begged into existence but the awareness you are I AM, the presence that answers when you stand in the truth of your inner petition. When you dwell in that I AM, affliction loses its grip; the sound of lament becomes a reminder of a consciousness that can turn, because it imagines itself into the very fact of presence. The verse invites you to move from surface circumstance to inner conviction: the one you call LORD is the living you who knows no separation from its own supply and light.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume you are already in the Presence within. Revise affliction into presence and feel the sense of being heard and supplied.
