A practitioner asks: “My local area suffered this year from a locust plague that devastated the fauna, farms, and gardens. To my surprise, the locust population was reduced significantly even though they still enjoy an optimal climate to thrive and plenty to feed from. I also noticed “healthy looking locusts” lying dead in my garden!! My intuition is telling me that it was a Divine intervention as a response to many prayers. Am I correct here?”

You are 100% correct in seeing this situation as a divine intervention to turn the tide in the face of this pestilence. As is always the case, this is the work of interlopers. They brought these pests into your world so it is never in divine alignment to have such a scourge being a threat to welfare and livelihood of human beings. As always, what is needed is a human outreach to request assistance actively and specifically. While we can use general prayers for wellbeing, to some extent it is far better when people target their specific issues of concern with a prayer request because the level of intention is much greater with respect to the particular issue in hand. You have been instrumental personally in seeing the alleviation in severity here, and this is indeed a testament to the ability of the divine human to make their world better and that the power rests largely with you to make that happen through divine intervention.
