A questioner (at http://tinyurl.com/2mzpns ) asks people to pray that the she keeps her job. I'm sincerely interested how such a thing would work - especially if God has a plan, and has already decided the outcome
1 God plans for her to lose her job. Impressed by the number of prayers, he changes the plan.
2 God plans for her to keep her job. Unimpressed by the low turnout of prayers, he changes the plan.
3 God has plans for her job. Prayers are insufficient to change the plan.
4 God has no plans for her job, but intervenes based on the prayers.
5 God has no plans for her job, and allows the issue to work itself out regardless of prayers.
6 God plans for her to lose her job, and prayers can't change it. But a last-minute prayer from the Pope [or similar] is sufficient to cause the change.
7 God has plans for her job. He knows about the prayers in advance. The plan goes ahead as intended.
Are any of these close to the way it works? If not, how, then?
