heaven-sent
Like perfect luck
Heaven-sent describes something that arrives at exactly the right moment, as if delivered by divine providence.
A heaven-sent opportunity or solution appears when desperately needed, suggesting fortunate timing rather than mere coincidence.
The job offer was heaven-sent—I'd just been laid off the week before.
The term carries connotations of relief and gratitude, implying the recipient feels blessed by the timing or nature of what has arrived.
