Reply To: Praying About Past Events and Parshas Sh'mos.

Here’s a question I had when I read your post:

If Hashem did change the past, how would we know?

We wouldn’t. And hence your issue of

If Hashem changed the past in response to our tefillos and we were aware of this (somehow retaining awareness of the now non-existent timeline), then we would be able to affect the past in a way. For whatever reason we aren’t supposed to have this ability… or know about it, at least.

is not an issue.
