English term or phrase: Here's hoping

An expression or idiom showing someone's desire for something to happen.
'Due to bad weather, my flight to Makkah got cancelled; here's hoping they will reschedule it ' 'Here's hoping (that) it doesn't rain.'
Here's hoping (that) is an idiom used to introduce a clause that expresses the speaker's strong desire, hope, or wish, especially just before the speaker makes an attempt to fulfill that hope. It's somewhat like I hope very much (that) ..., and here goes! (here goes! is itself an idiom that says "I'm about to try".)

Umarım yağmur yağmaz. Umarım yeni bir sefer koyarlar.

And sometimes people use "dilerim" or "dilerim ki". You do not understand me right now. Here's hoping that you will understand me better when you have children.

Dilerim ana / baba olduğunda beni anlarsın.

Here's hoping you'll be happy with him forever. Dilerim ki onunla hep mutlu olasın (olursun).

When a flight is cancelled we mostly expect that they schedule a new one and mostly say: herhalde yeni bir sefer koyarlar. If they do not schedule a new flight then we say: bugün başka sefer koymayacaklarmış.

Like when all flights are cancelled: Bütün seferler iptal olmuş.
