Providence
промысел Божий is the established theological term (shared with Orthodox usage). Must be clearly distinguished from судьба/случай (fate/chance), both live folk categories in Russian, and from карма, an increasingly familiar but foreign loanword from contemporary New-Age/yoga culture that must never be used for Romans 8:28’s personal, purposive divine care.
