Presence Within: Thankful Prayer
Psalms 95:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 95 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse invites us to come before God with thanksgiving and a joyful song. In Neville's view, this inward posture becomes the state of consciousness that creates reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
Let us come before His presence means turning attention to the I AM within, the always-present awareness. Thanksgiving is not an external ritual but a shift in consciousness—a grateful mood that expands your inner field until the divine presence feels real. When you say 'let us come,' you acknowledge your inward invitation to awareness; when you offer thanks, you practice the feeling that the I AM fills all space. The 'joyful noise' and the 'psalms' become the inner music of imagination: you picture yourself alive to the I AM, and the lyric of gratitude vibrates through your being. In this view, events are inner movements in consciousness—invitation, response, realization—until your outward life mirrors the blessed state you have assumed. The practice is internal: revise lack into presence and let gratitude build the reality you seek.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and declare, 'I come before the Presence with thanksgiving.' Then feel the gratitude as a vivid inner sensation, as if you are already dwelling in that presence, and allow a joyous inner song to rise and carry you through the day.
