Is our decision-making based on our free will the only thing God doesn't completely know?

Jeremiah 17:9-10 " The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."

Hebrews 4:13 " Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do."

There is nothing that God does not know - God knows everything. Even decisions made by our free will, God knows those too. 

Man is a moral agent - he commits actions that can be judged moral or immoral. He makes a decision to do an action using his free will. Because of free will, man is responsible for his actions. A man with mental disorder has no free will - His body acts by itself and he is not responsible for his actions. 

To love is an act of free will. Likewise, to do evil is also an act of free will. Whether man decides to love or do evil, God knows and allows the action to happen.
