Beth,
In the wisdom of Kabbalah, we learn about two forces, one is all of creation, called a will to receive.  That will to receive manifests in four degrees: Inanimate, Vegatative, Animate & Speaking.
This is what the Creator created, a will to receive and that will to receive develops through time (that is how it appears to us) until it becomes excessive, meaning it wants and wants and can’t be fulfilled until it starts to ask, Why am I alive, Who am I? etc.
And there is the second force that we learn about called the force of bestowal, that is the light that extends from the Creator that fills the will to receive.
All corporeal wisdom deals with one force in all of its changing shapes, sizes, intensity, etc.
The Creator on the other hand does not change, He fills all reality evenly and equally at all times.
Therefore all of our prayers, including all of our prayers to the Creator and including prayers at a burial or memorial are only in order to calibrate ourselves towards Him and His reality, for He doesn’t change, only we change ourself in order to come step by step, closer and closer to His reality of 100% bestowal.

In reply to your second question, the short answer is yes, but it is of no value to throw around one line slogans, “Everything is decided above” without much preparation, specifically all of the accompanying questions that must arise in a person, then who am I and what am I doing and how is He operating me and can I have free choice and why is He doing this in such a way, etc….

Ricardo,
There is no “us” in this study yet, we are still learning the blueprint of creation.
The purpose of creation is to fill creation with good.  In order for the Creator to fill creation with all of His good, so creation needs to have an endless desire.  So this is malchut, an endless desire.
After that we will learn about additional operations and eventually we will reach the shattering of the vessel of Adam HaRishon which is what you are referring to.

Rune,
You are on the right track.
The will to receive pleasure will always remain, that is the nature of creation, that is what the Creator created.
What will change is the intention from receiving in order to receive that will be inverted to receiving in order to bestow.
Yes, a prayer is either a deficiency for the Light to fill or gratitude.

Alicia,
We are in a very big integral system and sometimes you will even see a person who is a very serious student for 15 years and then the Creator plays with him and he starts getting confused and looking to religion, to some physical practice, that by keeping some physical actions, that will lead to spirituality or sometimes the Creator throws a person back to the corporeal world where he just wants a good life in this world and leaves the spiritual path altogether.
These are situations where a person was on the path. You are asking about a person who is not on the path and frankly doesn’t even care about it, he is having a good life and what more does he need.
And all of this exists in the system.  There are active parts and passive parts, like in your body, there is the head that decides and the body executes.  The hands, even the toes take part in wherever the body goes, but the head is deciding for the whole body.  Likewise humanity is built.  Most of humanity is called AH”P and those who attain the spiritual system and the light passes through them to the world are called the G”E.  We will study all of this later.

Alicia,
I’m trying to figure out why the Creator made mosquitos right now and you’re trying to figure out why the Creator made family and friends who don’t yearn to know the purpose of life 🙂
Much later in our study we will begin to discover how all of the reality that we perceive; inanimate, vegatative, animate and speaking are all projections of my inner world outside of me, like Baal HaSulam writes that if they were not projected outside of me I would have no way to discover myself.
In the meantime, since we don’t feel that my Dad and my Grandma and my work colleague and this mosquito are all parts of my desire, my soul, so we are called that we are in the preparation phase in relation to the ladder of degrees.
Our work specifically now is to stabalize ourselves in this field of forces.
Meaning, who am I?  (a will to receive with a point in the heart)
Where am I? (in a field of upper light/bestowal)
Why is life the way it is, filled with such agony? (we are uncorrected, we are receving the upper light in order to receive.  We need to invert our intention to be in order to bestow, that is, to receive in order to bestow).

So all of this and more to understand and start to feel who we are where we are, etc.
And then we will start working in the spiritual environment with other friends who are learning with us, who are studying and upon whom this same upper light is working in an active way.

In short, carry on with your studies and don’t try to convince anyone else of anything.
First let the materials that we are studying work on you, harmonize you with the words of the kabbalists and after start to think how will I be able to communicate this in the most simple, clear way possible that one day “everyone will know Me from the greatest to the smallest” and “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations”, meaning, how will we be able to make ourselves into pipeline to bring the Creator’s light to everyone else in a way that is suitable for THEM.  We will be those transitions.

All this comes later.  For now, you have your work cut out for you.
Good luck!!
