Can prayer change God's perfect plan?

I saw a meme today, with the question in title. This is a toughie. 

I am a person of strong faith, and want others with strong faith to chime in on this. Help!!!

I wouldn't say my faith is relatively strong, but that isn't really necessary to answer the question. As far as I see it, nothing can change God's Perfect Plan. Your prayer is part of your free will, but YOUR free will is part of God's Plan. People object to the idea of one's will being free if God already knows what it will be, but what God KNOWS is irrelevant to freedom. It's what God IMPOSES that restricts freedom. And God does not impose your will from being acted upon, thus it is free. And He doesn't need to in order for His Plan to succeed, because your will changes by itself.
