Prayers

There are cases when heaven does not answer them

November 27th 2025

There are cases when your fervent prayers* for someone to be saved go unanswered, because it would upset all of heaven’s plans if your request were granted.
Suppose that you have a friend who is ill and you want him to get well soon. You pray ardently for him and your prayer is strong because it is sincere. However, the decree of the Beings on high is as follows: ‘We need to create new connections in this person so that he can gain a better understanding of things thanks to which he will behave more appropriately in the future. In order to carry out this operation, he must be immobilized for some time. That is why we have confined him to bed and tied him up so that he cannot move. We therefore refuse to grant this prayer because it asks for him to be released from illness before we have completed our work.’
When someone is ill, it is difficult to know whether they are suffering from a real illness or whether the invisible world is working to speed up their evolution.
