I think a perfect God would have to be one who understood this and utilized it in the way He/She/It/They managed our affairs. That would be the best reason that I could think of why He doesn't just show Himself to us and directly tell us all the answers.
I also don't understand why a perfect God would have made us if the only point of our existence was to give up that which is most unique and defining about us. It seems like He's taken a lot of work upon Himself just for the sake of taking a lot of work upon Himself. That doesn't sound like a perfect (or even intelligent) God to me.
Obviously, however,
any amount of "work" that God undertook would be as nothing stressful to Him.
I know that for me, giving up my freewill is not something that I consciously strive to do on a daily basis, apart from issues that my conscience informs me about.
Its not important to me either way. If it were important to me to consciously lay down every aspect of my freewill, I would probably be part of a cult.
If, on the other hand, it were equally obsessive of me to hold tight to my freewill, I would probably be a militant atheist.
