If we are to have a personal and meaningful relationship with God, then our actions have to be meaningful. Christians often say things like "When it's your time to go, it's your time to go." But if God sees all, even through time, then it's also "When it's your time to have a shit, it's your time to have a shit." Everything is known by God.
Okay, so it's known by God if/when you will pray, if/when sinners will repent, if/when heretics will fall back in line with the Catholic dogma, etc. It will never, ever turn out other than God already knows it will turn out.
I'm not sure you know what free will means.
