Good Luck & a Humble Heart Dear God,
I come before you today with a humble heart, seeking Your blessings and good luck in all my undertakings. Remind me always of the need for humility so that I may never forget it is Your hand that shapes my future and guides my actions.

Lord bless me with luck, but let it never cloud my understanding of who provides it. As I endeavor to achieve my dreams, keep my spirit grounded and my heart humble. May I always give thanks and acknowledge Your intervention in all my successes. Amen.
- Intuitive psychic Paige Ferris says, “When wishing for luck, I always utilize a ‘this or better’ [approach] – essentially saying to the universe ‘I wish for this ____ circumstance or better.’” She explains that this practice “opens you up to all potential good outcomes instead of limiting yourself to just one outcome.”^{[1]

Saint Cajetan Prayer for Good Luck O glorious St. Cajetan,
You studied to be a lawyer, but when you felt that the Lord was calling you to his service, you abandoned everything and became a priest. You excelled in virtues, shunning all material rewards for your labor, helping the many unemployed people of your time. You provided loans without interest, and you attracted a lot of benefactors who donated to your resources so that you could go on with your activities. Look on us with mercy. We wish to find employment that could help us and our families live with dignity. Listen to our petitions, dear saint; you, who could easily give up the food on your table for the needy, bring our petitions to Jesus (here make your request). Amen.^{[4]
