When prayers are answered, is it always done using the human intention of the person praying and others who have prayed? Is that what limits what the divine can do in answer to simple prayers, no matter how heartfelt and deserving the supplicant might be?

This is the key to understanding the apportionment of spiritual capital and divine energy that can be bestowed on the behalf of anyone. There may be many general prayers on record and, in the bank, so to speak, awaiting utilization by the divine. But if an individual who prays for help lacks the understanding of their dilemma, presupposes the likelihood of failure to get a divine response, and has a feeble belief quotient in the bargain, we are no more empowered to take the general prayer energies of others to help that person who has built a fence around themselves to limit or delay divine assistance, than using their own energy. This is why an advocate on their behalf targeting such individuals and their plight, as with the practitioners of the Lightworker Healing Protocol are such a blessing. This meets the first requirement of divine intervention, an awareness by the recipient of their plight in a truer sense, and then requesting a high-level response in the best possible way, with specificity, a deep understanding of the rules of engagement, and broad coverage of all the possibilities to employ divine-level healing through a variety of strategies utilized by the divine realm. That empowered level of requesting can make up for almost any individual shortcoming, to get results.
