Confirmation I Session II reflection

Confirmation I Session 2 Reflection:  Due November 20th

As Catholics we know that God has given us free will, and we can choose to follow Him or not.  Why would God do that?  How would faith be different if humans didn’t have free will but just automatically followed God?  What are some forces in people’s lives that may restrict their free will, and how might that impact their relationship with God?  Please answer this prompt in a substantial paragraph.
