What do you think? I'm defining retroactive prayer as praying for things that have happened in the past. I am not thinking about changing history, that's done. I'm thinking of changing what happened to people.
For example, you have cancer, or were fired, or a beloved died, etc. traumatic tragedy that befell you. The event is de facto. However, praying does have the ability to change attitudes and not only the person praying, but others, as well. Doctors say that patients have healed faster than expected. You aren't as devasted and are handling things better than expected.
Time changes the way people look at events. People mature. Perhaps prayer did work.
We Catholics pray for our deceased to be in eternal peace. Doesn't God's power reach where it wills.
"Nothing can hinder the Lord," and "All things are possible with God." (1 Samuel 14:6, Mark 10:27)
