We possess a coerced will. I possess a coerced will. I am not my own man. There are things that I wish were otherwise, and I acknowledge that no amount of any of us wishing makes it so, or even possible, or possibly so.
God teaching you a lesson about not getting your way all the time doesn't really count as "coercion". Calling it "coercion" would be like current adult me accusing my mom of child abuse for not buying me groceries.
