I think one mistake the vast majority of people make is they imagine God in the present tense, as if he's in heaven right now, watching the earth like a TV show and reacting to it in the present, as if he's just sitting there waiting for people to ask of him things and like a genie he fulfills these tasks...

God doesn't just know the end of time, he exists after the end and before it. He's beyond time. He already knows every choice and event in your life and has already decided how that will play out. That doesn't mean you don't have free will, but your understanding of God comes from a misconception, you're visualizing him as if he exists within time, like you and I and therefore talk to him as if he's within time.

His Will is eternal and he knows best. You telling him to do this or that isn't just ignorant, but blasphemous. Who are you to tell God what to do?

Thy will be done should suffice.
