Werewolf, why are you using the formal "you"?
God doesn't directly control our actions, but he controls the circumstances – he sets the boundaries, the trials, with the goal of seeing how we will react.
*And then Ostap went off on a tangent...*
No, seriously – it looks like some kind of experiment. If you look at it that way, when a trial is deliberately set before you and they watch how you overcome it, the first thing that comes to mind is that they are conducting "experiments" on you. But why? Why is God so interested in what we will do in a given situation? What does he want to achieve with this?
Perhaps God is lonely, and we are the result of his research into creating beings like himself (because it is quite possible that all we need to do is rise to a "divine" level, become his equal). Even if you look at the legends about Atlantis and Lemuria, you can say that they were "failures," and we are still "promising").
This is just one version for now; I can't come up with anything else at the moment.
P.S.: By the way, the expression "God's ways are inscrutable" can also be interpreted in this way – perhaps we simply cannot comprehend the reason for these experiments. And therefore, we cannot know what will happen to us next on our path

Хороший сон укрепляет боевой дух. Хорошая еда укрепляет боевой дух. Хорошие деньги укрепляют боевой дух. А больше всего укрепляет боевой дух - отсутствие врага.
