You can remove the "had" in the first sentence, but not the "were":
Puritans' philosophies were foreign to Americans.
I don't think "reformation" makes sense. She can ask God for mercy, absolution, strength. (Or guidance as mentioned above.)

Chill out dude.... :)
Actually "reformation" is a pretty good word in the phrase context. The Puritans emphasized that each person should be continually reformed by the grace of God to fight against indwelling sin and do what is right before God.

Puritans had philosophies that Americans found foreign. In the second sentence,
use "intervention" instead of help. She asked for God's intervention.

I believe that the first sentence is fine, I don't see how you could change it. Um, here's a little help on the second sentence, you could change help to great assistance, I think this could work. You could also use aid, courage, or maybe guidance. Hope one of these works. God Bless!

I fail to see what's wrong with the first sentence. I honstly couldn't think of a way to get rid of the be verb without making the sentence utterly confusing. Try replacing "help" with "guidance".

Go to a writing class, dear, as this is such a mishmash I cannot make heads nor tails of it.

"Even though she dealt with pain during that particular period in her life, she prayed to God for divine intervention."
