Another woman inquired about how to properly pray and manifest. "You pray wrongly. You pray with doubt. You pray with worry. You pray as though it's going to come to you as opposed to come through you," Vanzant replied. "Too many of us pray to a Santa Claus God that we think is going to give us something as opposed to sitting in the light of power and creating it from the inside," she continued.

When asked how can one put themselves first, Vanzant replied with the question, "who makes your schedule, beloved?" She continued, "if you don't make yourself a priority, if you don't enjoy your life, everyone else will." She also detailed her routine for a typical Sunday and how she had to carve out her schedule with God. Most importantly, "create clear boundaries."
