Second, there is the issue of faith and trust! Many lightworkers pray but then give in to self-doubt, worry, and fear. God/Spirit still hears the prayer, but the doubts, fears, and overall negativity tends to sabotage the prayer on a subconscious level. For on a subconscious and conscious level, often without realizing it, the person is affirming and visualizing the opposite of that which is being asked for.

Third, the person is often attached to what they are praying for which tends to push it away. Prayers should always be what I like to call “prayer preferences not prayer attachments.“

Fourth, people do not pray enough and ask for help enough. It is also helpful to pray not only to God but also to the inner plane Ascended Masters, Archangels and Angels, Elohim Masters, and the Christed Extraterrestrials for help. People need to be like Jacob in the Bible who grabbed hold of the leg of the Angel and said I will not let go of you until you bless me.

Fifth, often people’s prayers are not specific enough and they get a general response. The universe can‘t give you what you don‘t ask for. This is why I recommend that people write down their prayers on a piece of paper and read them three times out loud.

Sixth, prayer sometimes doesn’t work because it is not integrated. By this I mean that people are not doing their physical part to help the prayer. We have all heard the adage “God helps those who help themselves.” We also know that life is a co-creation. Let me give an example. Let’s say someone prays to meet their Spiritual mate, yet they stay home and never go out of their house. This makes it harder for the universe to meet this prayer request.

Seventh, sometimes prayers are answered and people do not even realize it. In the example above, the person may have prayed to meet their Spiritual mate and three weeks later they are in the laundromat and the universe has set it up for them to meet this special person they have prayed for and the person then even talks to them, however, they are too shy to talk back, or not in the mood to talk, or fearful to talk, or whatever. You get the point. They did not make the connection that this was the answer to their prayer.

Eighth is that God works in mysterious ways. The personality and negative ego often try to control God and tell God how the prayer should be answered. God and the Masters are much wiser. You may pray for abundance to occur, however, God may give it to you in his time in a way that is totally unexpected!

Ninth, now sometimes people ask for things that are not meant to be and God/the universe will not answer a prayer that will hurt your soul growth or is not meant to be. A person may ask to be the President of the United States. It is fine to ask, but that may not be that person’s true dharma and puzzle piece!

Tenth, since life is a co-creation, lightworkers often are not integratively doing all they need to do to manifest their prayer. They are not keeping faith, having trust and patience, or doing positive affirmations and visualizations to help it along. They are not doing their conscious personal power level work and action to make the prayer manifest. For example, the prayer might be to be successful in their business. However, the person is not staying organized, returning phone calls, doing errands, or taking care of business. This tenth reason points to the fact that all prayer is “integrated prayer,” which means each level of self—conscious, subconscious, feelings, physical body, and so on—must do its part to make the prayer work. It is only when all levels and aspects of self work to help manifest the prayer is the prayer most effective. So do you see, my friends, that most people just pray and expect God and the Masters to do it and that is not how prayer really works. Prayer is a co-creation, for you are God as well! Occasionally God just answers a prayer without you having to do much, however, most of the time prayer is an integrated and a co-creative process. Prayer is most effective when there is consistency on all levels in terms of what has been asked for.
