What is taking place when prayers are launched, and the interaction with future events, is that there is a looping of time from that future eventuality back to the present when, indeed, the person praying will likely check on the progress and consequence of the prayer to see if things have been ameliorated that were asked for, or some other consequence. And depending on the perception, that will be noted internally but will also create an intention of its own that connects energetically with the original prayer event that was launched previously, as a loop of time going back and revisiting that initial launching of the prayer, as well as passing through the intervening interval. So if a prayer is launched asking for something to happen, but in the future a focus is placed on the seeming reality that nothing has happened to make things better, that may trigger a negative intention with negative emotion behind it like disappointment, sadness, fear of things getting worse, and so on. That, indeed, can influence the eventual outcome by making things work in a retrograde manner to undo any gains in progress that have accrued but not yet been expressed, in terms of ending symptoms, perhaps.
So this is a complicated business but is a balancing of energies, in the end, to see what will win out. So this gives you some feeling for how highly dynamic things are for a work in progress where the energy of a prayer gets launched, but that is only the start of things and is provisional. What it addresses might be changed dramatically by the divine in answer to the prayer, or it might end up being worsened if a person becomes frustrated or unhappy, or loses faith along the way in monitoring progress and sees no evidence, and begins to doubt and fear the worst, that change will not come in time, and so forth. This is why we have said before that "What is done can be undone and what is undone can be redone," so it is important to understand these dynamics and not get in the way of ongoing progress by raising questions.
So this analysis takes you partway with an individual explaining how he manages the launching and follow-up of prayers personally, but that does not speak to the wide array of individuals with varying belief quotients, both in the divine and in the self. So his analysis rightly describes the importance of believing in the divine and letting the divine take the lead with the assumption the divine has plenty of power to bring about whatever has been requested so that, in checking on progress, if things have not yet come to fruition, one has the option to reinforce the original request to add to the power of intention, in a matter-of-fact way without doubt or fear, but simply seeing to one's part in things to be sure one has done enough to add one's energy to the request for help. If done in a workmanlike fashion—as he puts it, in a matter-of-fact way—that will be only a positive contribution and not risking anything. After all, it is asking too much of people to remain blind to an outcome, or lack of one, when things do not improve, so the key is how one takes this and what actions might follow.
What he is not fully including in his analysis is that some people doubt themselves much more than they doubt the Almighty, and it is very much the case that a lack of action on the part of the divine will be interpreted many times as a personal failing, in not having the ability to engender a divine response sufficient to change things for the better, and that may build on itself to further undermine confidence in the self and one's ability to receive divine assistance, and this is a powerful reason why many prayers fail to bring the desired results—it is a breakdown of the human-divine partnership on the human side of things.
