Let's say you want something really badly to happen. You prayed and nothing's happened yet and you get impatient. So in a moment of irrationality you took some action on your own. Then you realised you shouldn't have done that because it wasn't done at the right time.
So is it possible that you could ruin God's plans for you? Or is it part of His plans that you would do that and 'ruin his plans'?
Has that happened to you?

Anything is possible, you have free will, and I am sure you can screw it up if you try hard enough.

All sin leads you off of God's plan.
When you realize you're off road --- and you REPENT --- then you can start a new path to the light of God. Most all wrong doings (sins) start off small. For example, you may steel a pen from a resturant. You repent, promise not to do it again ... but then do it again ... here you've made it easier for you to go off-road. So, soon you'll be pocketing pens without thinking ... this opens the door for you steel something like silverwear ... again with repenting and repeating, you could find yourself ditching dinner ... and then steeling things of real value.
Sometimes, God will put obsticals (warning signs) from keeping you from wrong doings ... so you can still sin --- but you'll really have to make an effort to sin.
It's when you make that FIRM commitment to follow God's plan that you can start the road to recovery. Beware this comes with the cost of penance - purification to help you learn why what you did was wrong and how to live a better life.

Gods plans are not even up for reviewing. You cant change them, because once you are born, (well, before you are born) they are no longer plans, they are truths. You cant change the truth no matter how hard you try. You can argue the truth, but it will never go anywhere, because its the TRUTH! I say they are no longer plans (but truths) because he designed us. He is Almighty, sufficient, and should be Glorified ALWAYS, for the good and the hard.
You are never ruining Gods plans, because she knows EVERYTHING about you. Of course he knows that you are going to 'take action' when he doesn't answer your prayer right away.
I hope this all has mad some sort of sense

I had a pastor that used to say "I'm sure glad there's a God and I ain't Him" God can do anything. He has plans for you, but He also knows you and what you are going to do. You can certainly stifle your own joy, and mess up the gifts and blessings God has for you. For example, My wife and I once bought a house. We wanted it real bad, and even though we wanted to follow His will for us, we wanted the house bad enough to finagle our finances, and play games and manipulate in order to make it happen. This was all done at the suggestion of our realtors, and we didn't break any laws, but we weren't totally honest, with ourselves, with God, or with anyone else. It ended up that we had to relocate due to the economy falling apart, and though we never missed a payment or defaullted in any way, we lost tens of thousands of $$, ended up deeply in debt, and spent the next 7 years playing catch - up. Had we not done what we did, we would still have relocated, because the Lord led us to where we are, but we would have been enjoying God.s blessings all those years rather than dealing with the consequences we created for ourselves. God's blessings for us during that time were making ends meet and being ableto keep our heads above water while we caught up. They could have been something much different.
I hope this makes sense to you. We learned a powerful lesson through our journey.

Yes a person can ruin God's plans.
No one has to follow God's plan for them. It is not God's will that there be murderers, rapists, child molesters nor was that His plan for their lives.
If you pray for something to happen, it's not wrong to work for it too. Such as prayer to pass a test, you should study at same time. But if you do ruin God's plan for you, He always has a Plan B.

Yes it is possible. We are human and want to take our lives into our own hands. When we do this we disrupt God's plan for us.
This does not mean that God will give up on you and/or not give you another chance. Talk with God and let Him know you made a mistake.
Blessing to you

How weak would God be if you could ruin His plans? Don't you think that "ruining the plan" WAS his plan? What might you learn from it? And anyway, how can we know what God's plans are? Not until after they happen, if at all.

No. It is not possible. Everything has been taken into account and is planned to happen that way. You may think you are changing it - but it is really how it is supposed to be.

You see the difference between human being and angel is that they (angels) have no free will of their of there own& carry out all orders of Allah. But humans have free will, if you commit some mistake at your free will, but than you realize that it's wrong,and since are bound to commit mistakes and blunders, our Creator knows it, as such you repent Allah will definitely forgive you, but you should not the same mistake again. He will rectify your problems.

No, God made the blueprints for our lives far before we were ever born. He knows the wrong decisions we're going to make. The key is not for us to change God's mind but to have God change ours.
