Of course God's will is stronger. However, God chooses to withdraw and restrain His will so that we can freely use our own will. If you can believe that God voluntarily emptied himself and took the form of a slave, then it shouldn't be a stretch for you to conceive of God giving us room to exercise our will.

Where does it say that God withdrew His control of His creation and ceeded it to man? Could I have the chapter and verse?

Did God tell you to write that?

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." (Genesis 1:26)

I don't know if this has been answered, but here you go just in case it hasn't been.

Gen 1:
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
