God can change His mind? That doesn't really make sense to me.
Oh the Lord does change his mind in the book Exodus.
Exodus 32: 9 - 14
"And again the Lord said to Moses: I see that this people is stiffnecked: 10 Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of you a great nation. 11 But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is your indignation enkindled against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12 Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech you: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let your anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to your seed, and you shall possess it for ever: 14 And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people."
Now just because you know that something bad is going to happen, when it does happen wouldn't you still be upset over that? Moses could see how God was upset that the people he saved made themselves an idol.

Foresaw anything.........?
You're saying praying can change his will.
Lets say I'm praying for a sick person to get better. If I don't pray then they die?
When is the age of accountability?
When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane he was praying to God to take the cup away because he knew what was about to happen to him. He prayed by GOD'S will and not by his own will. If it is God's will for something to happen then it will happen. You got to look at the reason why you are praying for something. Are you praying for a sick person to get better for your own will or are you doing it by God's will?
