Can prayer change God's perfect plan?

We are described as "slaves" in the Quran:

Quote:Sura 2, Page 28, The Quran:
( 186 )   And when My slaves ask you concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.

Furthermore; this slavery is even written in our own D.N.A ; nobody can escape the order of God being written in our own cells; how we should look like and how we should suffer. Our basic destiny is there; only if somebody knew how to read it.

Quote:Sura 32, Page 415, The Quran:
( 5 )   He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.
( 6 )   That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
( 7 )   Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.
( 8 )   Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.
( 9 )   Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul and made for you hearing and vision and hearts; little are you grateful.

We are bound to our own realities; bound to our genes and bound to our humanity. Slaves.
When God is in the equation; what does "Free" actually mean? humans took their free will in this life; and it just showed up its resultant face: utter corruption.

We even cracked the Ozone layer.

Make a simple analysis to find out that humans literally used everything in their disposal to demolish earth. Earth is crying due to the drilling for oil and the voices of explosions. Freedom meant utter consumption of materials and resources, while watching our brothers and sisters die from hunger.

Admitting slavery to God doesn't mean to be servants of God; he doesn't need a butler. He doesn't need a chef. He is not a statue in a cave waiting to get washed 30 times a day. Admitting slavery to him is the real freedom, admitting that we need food and rain, need protection, need peace. That's real freedom.
