How do you reconcile these 2 Great Spiritual Laws: "You always get what you pray for" vs "You receive what you ARE"?
We go back to the foundation of creation and manifestation, which is: YOU GET WHAT YOU ARE. Prayer does not override that law. It works THROUGH it.
So if you pray for wealth, don't expect money to simply fall from the sky. Instead, you will be given a set of circumstances that train you to BECOME wealthy in consciousness. That might be a pay cut that forces you to master your spending, a business idea that demands courage, or a lesson in self-worth so you finally charge what you're worth.
Most people miss this. They pray for abundance, receive the training, and then call it a problem.
Once the consciousness is truly wealthy, the physical manifestation of wealth follows. The inner comes first and the outer is downstream.
That is why Jesus said "believe that you HAVE received" (Mark 11:24), not "beg until it arrives."
TLDR: Your prayer is always answered, but it's answered as a curriculum first, and the reward only shows up once you've passed it.
