Can prayer change God's perfect plan?

[Valyza1]

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.  

Excuse me but if this is your belief.. Then what do you believe happens to babies (innocents) who are killed before choosing your god? If free will is the reason for all the suffering in the world, how is it so easily removed from babies, or "people who haven't heard the word of god"? Where's their free will?

Not sure I understand your objection. I wasn't talking about Free Will being the cause of suffering, I was talking about it being a reality of human life. You don't even need to believe in God to believe in Free Will. But my point was that if you do believe in God or, more topical to this discussion, any omnipotent being, you aren't required to stop believing in Free Will as the two concepts don't, of necessity, contradict each other. One's will is free in the sense that one has the power to pursue what one wishes. The baby has the power to pursue a piece of candy. He or she may encounter resistance, but if they want the candy badly enough they can keep pursuing it. Eventually, the appetite will subside enough for the baby to no longer want to pursue the candy, either because of substitution or exhaustion, but the baby is always free to pursue that candy by whatever tools it has at it's disposal (crawling, crying, reaching, etc). All God's omnipotence means is that He knows what's going to happen. But he's not imposing that knowledge onto the person. If He didn't know, then the question of why He doesn't intervene would be more pertinent, I should think. Generally speaking, the only reason to intervene in anything is to either ensure the occurrence of a desired result or prevent the occurrence of an undesired one. If you already know the result, there's no point in intervening unless you enjoy being part of the process.
