True or false: God's will is always done.
Amen my precious brother!God's will is always done.
It is important however that we point out that will does not necessarily mean consent. God did not WANT adam and eve to sin. God does not wish the condemnation of any person. However he allowed adam and eve to sin because he willed to give them free will, and he allows people to be condemned because he lets them resist the work of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
It is important to make that distinction, because to say that the will of God is done, and leave it at that, implies that God does evil, which is not the case.

Yep, can't argue with the Bible!God's will is not always done as these two scriptures demonstrate.
2 Pe 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish , but that all should come to repentance.
KJV
God's will is that every one be saved, but since God gave man a "choser" or will every man does not make the decision to repent.
Mt 6:10
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
KJV
If God's will was always done this prayer is useless.

Foreknowledge is not the same as will.Your first verse, "us-ward"... that was directed to the believers, that THEY should come to repentence.
Second verse, God has foreknowledge, so His will IS done.
We pray to give him glory, to worship, for Hes truly Almighty.
Foreknowledge is not just clairvoyance or experiential wisdom, either.
Everything that is, is by God's determinate council.
Omniscience & Omnipotence rule out chance.
Isaiah 45:7 points out that God creates (created) evil.
This doesn't mean God is evil. You can't judge an action without consideration of motive. God is good. His motive for creating evil is explained in Romans 9:19: Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20: Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21: Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22: What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
There are two answers.True or false: God's will is always done.
God's will is not to violate man's will.True or false: God's will is always done.
