I agree with this. I did my share of eye-rolling from the pew when an elderly gentleman would say “Lord willing” but then COVID happened and taught me that I’m really not that in control of any of my schedules and plans. I’ve started using “If the Lord wills” a lot more frequently as a reminder that I am a finite creature.
