Your Tefillah can change Hashem’s plans.

JOT general / Admin

Tefillah is a request, יהי רצון “May it be Hashem’s will” that we have healing, health, or whatever it is that we need. Yes, we can ask Hashem to change His will. Hashem’s Ratzon/Will is like a “garment”; it doesn’t change the essence of the one wearing it. Our life, our future and all that

JOT general / Admin

Everyone makes mistakes. It is the way we were created. What happens after the mistake? We might feel pain from the mistake we made (“Stupid, how did I do that!”).
