In Israel, a pretty common phrase is yihiyeh b'seder, it will be okay. It is the phrase used when exams are hard, packages go missing, apartment searching feels impossible, and for just about any other time where there seems to be a relatively annoying or insurmountable amount stress.
Today, I got a call from the company that is making my closet. I was told that it would be delivered next Thursday (!! early !!). They gave me the delivery time and then asked if I had a second contact number. As I am not married and living in an era where home phones are becoming obsolete, I said that I didn't. The worker seemed a bit flustered and asked if I was sure; if my phone died or I didn't have cell reception they would need to contact someone else. It was so Israeli when instead of stressing out, I just said yihiyeh b'seder. It was even more Israeli when he said okay.
