Verses Supporting "Free Will"

Are our actions free? Even further, do we freely choose to follow God or does God compel us to follow Him (or does God put an irresistable desire in us to follow Him? ... I think that means "to compel", but some people would disagree with me - though I don't think their argument is really strong.) If I have time, I'll comment on these. If not, consider these as some references to ponder.
