Sometimes I have hard time desiding if making the right choices. Some may to be wrong or right. I have prayed on some of these choices. How do we know its Gods will or our own will?

Maybe if you give us an example of what kind of choices that would be a little more helpful,I think your question is a little vague.If you do not feel comfortable telling us what your struggling with make something up that you think might apply in the same way.

This is easy, if it's a Sin, God don't want anypart of it.

Say if you are thinking about becoming a preacher? I don't think God willwork anydifferent than, say if you were going to be a School Teacher. God can work in your life and you may never know it. You may make a Ton of Money or Friends and like to give God the credit. But you can look at some sinner and see he has the same things. Live your life for God. Learn to be content in what ever, life give's you. Study, Work Hard, Play hard, what is your life but a Vapor that appears for a little while and vanishes away!

I don't understand. We have free will and can do right or wrong, whatever we choose. And it's a very rare occasion when the right choice isn't absolutely clear.

All I can tell you is how I handle those things. I rely on the Holy Spirit to point me to the His will. In fact I am the cross roads with my ministry, I'm in need of direction and waiting an answer. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to wait, however "Those that wait upon the Lord, will renew their strength!"
If your decision is in line with God's word usually it's in His will, however there are times that do require an answer from the Throne Room. I have found that many times, the answer was right there in front of me, in God's written word. Read, and allow the Holy Spirit to hit you between the eyes with a scripture. You'll be amazed how much God speaks to us through His word. After all, that's why it was written.
God Bless

Dont really have anything as example. I have came across many choices either choice could fallow the Gods word. For example say which type of job should you take?

Rev; I might add that God can speak in any way that he chooses, to anyone, at anytime, However, when the Spirit is involved, it will always be in agreement with what is written in the scripture. God's Spiritnever contridicts Gods Holy Scripture.
