The Freedom to Choose Within God's Will

God gives us the freedom to choose within his commandments and teachings, allowing us to make decisions aligned with his will. While God makes some things clear, such as the commandments, many choices are left to our discretion. The idea that choosing God's will guarantees a smooth path is a misconception, as trials and challenges are inevitable, as stated in Sir Act chapter 2, verse 1 and by Jesus himself. Following God's will does not exempt us from pain or failure.
