God gave us free will. So prayer is necessary.
You sound like calvinist with your predetermined talk... God gave us free will. He wants us to choose to love God. Yes there are time you thank God for unanswered prayers and prayers answered
I don't believe his plan can be changed by prayer. This implies he changes his mind, which is at odds with his omniscience. If what you prayed is what He ends up doing, then it was part of His Plan all along, so the prayer was unnecessary. I'm not saying your choices are predetermined though, only certain fates/outcomes. Again I'm not actually aware of what goes on beyond, but logically speaking prayer makes no sense if the intention is to affect the universe.
In my view the prayer exists mainly for the one praying, it's not a factor in what God intended to do all along.
It’s not that He changes His mind.
It’s that if intercession is made, He does one thing, if it is not, He may allow another.
It’s based off what the people who are called by His Name ask of him and how they humble themselves in repentance to Him.
Evil gets a turn, but evil is not stronger. God seems to want us to participate in creation and salvation with Him.
Forgive me for being a poor prayer warrior.
"It’s that if intercession is made, He does one thing, if it is not, He may allow another"
"if" doesn't exist in an omniscient mind. He already decided everything He's going to do before the universe was made.
Your view of Divinity assumes it exists within time and reacts to what you ask or not ask of it.
Divinity created time. Divinity is beyond time. It already decided everything It's going to do.
There is no "if" in the Divine Mind. "If" presupposes ignorance about a future event.
