I would appeal to the wonderful mystery of God’s providence (you may have seen this before* 
), that the Bible teaches that God is absolutely sovereign and the rules of probability hold – it’s both/and and not either/or. We have free will and God inscrutably elects, we are responsible for our choices and God chooses them. There is an instantaneous dynamic between the living omnitemporal God and the linear (most of the time ) sequential time of the cosmos that we cannot possibly get our heads around.
*That was of course facetious – of course you’ve seen it before.
