I think that generally speaking, it is best to simply ask for direction from God, and to exclaim your Faith, praise, trust, love, and the miraculous nature of the Lord.
God may work through you if he so chooses. Whether you can know, or understand that depends generally on Faith. However, God doesn't need your Faith, you do.
Prayer could be for any selfless good thing through the grace, mercy, and power of God. Thanks.
Free will is our gift from God to each of us. With it comes great responsibility. Through Faith in God through Christ we have guidance, and all things are possible. Thank you.
You don't loose your free will or conscious. You simply tend to adhere to the good side of it through the Lord.
