How do we know God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven?

Answered in 2 sources

God's will is done perfectly in heaven, and we pray for it to be realized on earth through our obedience and submission.

In Matthew 6:10, the prayer 'Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven' acknowledges the perfect execution of God's will in heaven, free from sin and distraction. While on earth, our prayer reflects a deep desire for God's will to manifest in our lives and circumstances. This entails humbly submitting to His authority and recognizing that our own wills are often flawed and self-serving. As we ask for God's will to be accomplished, we align ourselves with His purposes, trusting that our obedience will lead to peace and fulfillment. The ultimate realization of God's will happens during the eschaton, when His rule will be recognized universally, but it begins in the hearts of His people now.
