Good fortune and luck are important factors in a person’s success.
While some believe that good fortune comes through the law of attraction from the universe, I strongly believe that the Lord is the giver of good luck and fortune.
So approaching Him for good fortune when your luck inevitably runs out is the best thing to do as a Christian.
The Holy Word says in James 1:17 that “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
I believe you will love these morning prayers of gratitude.

Whether you’ve hit a rough patch or you’ve been experiencing a series of bad events, it’s normal to feel unlucky now and then. But, what you choose to do next makes a world of difference.
You could grumble and complain like many people do or seek God more through prayer while having a positive mindset that everything will soon turn around for your good.
We are reminded in Psalms 37:4 to “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart“.
This serves as a lesson that when cumbered with unfortunate events, you should draw closer to God.

The terms good luck and success hold different meanings to everyone depending on the stage in life they are in. It might mean:
- Getting excellent grades in school;
- Achieving a high-paying job;
- Winning the lottery and many other ways.
Many times, good luck and success are correlated with a great career. And while it’s not wrong to desire a better job or a higher salary, we are reminded not to be guided by selfish ambitions but to remember the Lord who grants grace and favor to sustain.
Deuteronomy 8:18 declares, “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”
I believe you should try these prayers to remove someone bad from your life.
4) Prayer for Good Luck for a Friend
“Caring Father,
I sincerely pray for good luck for my dear friend, (say your friend’s name). May favor and divine mercy be their portion wherever they go. Bless the works of their hands and provide them with influential allies to help in times of need.
Surround my friend with blissful moments to cherish forever. Please make this a reality for my friend, dear Lord. Amen.”

A true friend is always there, especially during periods of bad luck. Unfortunately, many people disappear as soon as we are out of luck.
So, I applaud you for sticking with your friend in their low moments. Proverbs 27:10 commands you not to forsake your friend.
Praying for your friend’s luck is an incredible way to show support. You could also pray along with them to fortify their faith.
Other ways to be there are calling to check up on them, visiting them often and encouraging them through scripture.
Let them know they are not alone in their struggle, and they can rely on you and God for comfort.
5) Powerful Prayer for Luck
“My Lord and Savior,
Please stretch Your hand over me, filling my life with good luck and prosperity. Grant me protection from anything that seeks to steal my luck, and may fortune come quickly to me.
Help me to accomplish my goals as every mountain of obstacles is moved aside for my success. Let this newfound luck manifest in all areas of my life- from relationships to finances and beyond.
I believe You will provide me with the strength needed for this journey.
Original StAgnes.net prayer. Copying prohibited, except with source.
Amen.”
Many people believe in luck so much that when good things always seem to happen to someone, they believe they are lucky.
While on the surface level, it does appear that luck exists, as far as the Word of God is concerned, nothing happens to anyone without the Lord’s knowledge.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 tells us, “The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.”
As you pray this powerful prayer for luck, remember you cannot twist God’s arm to get what you want. The purpose of prayer is to align yourself with God’s will.
One thing for sure is God never wishes suffering and bad luck for His children.
6) Prayer to Attract Good Luck to My Life
“Almighty Father,
Despite these turbulent times, I look to You for good luck in my life. As I journey on this path, let the Holy Spirit sustain me through each challenge and bring good luck in the days to come.
Let me attract ravishing luck as You shower me with strength in every area of my life. Even if troubles arise against me, help me to remain peaceful, trusting in You for a better life ahead.
Original StAgnes.net prayer. Copying prohibited, except with source.
Amen.”
We all want the best life, with no troubles and happy days. Sadly, life is never smooth. Seasons of bad luck happen not because God doesn’t care but because He wants to teach us lessons.
James 1:2-4 states we should rejoice when faced with trials, knowing that the assessment of our faith breeds endurance. Endurance makes us complete and perfect, lacking in nothing.
With this in mind, as you pray for good luck ahead, ask God for patience to help persevere in times when you’re down on your luck.
Let Him also mold and equip you with skills to be a better person.

7) Prayer to Attract Good Fortune to My Life
“Dear Lord Jesus,
Please bless me with luck and good fortune to live a stable life. Guide my steps so I can use the resources You bestowed upon me to create wealth.
Let me stay vigilant against turmoil that threatens my well-being. Help me be more mindful of my finances and a faithful steward of the gifts You blessed me with.
Thank You for the good fortune in my life, now and forever,
Original StAgnes.net prayer. Copying prohibited, except with source.
Amen.”
Praying for good fortune helps you tune into the right mindset. Keep in mind that feeling unfortunate makes you anxious, fearful and negative.
But prayer invites peace and calm, which prepares your mind for positive thinking. Remember that to attract good fortune, you must shift your mindset to positivity and optimism.
Moreover, attracting good fortune doesn’t end with prayer. If you want to improve your grades, you have to study. If you desire a better job, you must send out applications.
The point is you shouldn’t wait for God to miraculously improve your life. Challenge yourself to be more accountable by making the effort, and God will carry you through the rest.

Will I Have Better Luck with These Prayers?
It all depends on your inner intent. Sure, we all desire better luck but remember that you can’t trick God into granting what you want.
Psalm 37:4 indicates to delight yourself in the Lord, and He will grant your heart’s desires. So the question is, do you delight yourself in the Lord? If your answer is yes, then He will give you better luck after saying these prayers.
Should Prayers Be Said Every Day?
Yes. Perhaps you’re worried that God will get tired of your repetitive prayers but quite the contrary.
When you study the Bible, you’ll notice that influential people like Daniel, David, Jesus and Paul prayed daily. Daniel prayed three times a day.
We are also encouraged to form a habit of praying every day.
How Many Prayers Should I Pray?
Knowing the number of times to pray can be confusing.
Some religious denominations advocate for threefold daily prayer as stipulated in Psalm 57:17, where the psalmist says, “Morning, noon and evening I cry out to the Lord in distress and He hears my voice.” Other doctrines vouch for morning and night prayers.
A simple answer would be to pray however the number of times you want. Pray unceasingly until God answers.
Jesus’ parable of the widow seeking justice from an unyielding judge is a good example of the essence of persistent prayer.
God Will Help You!
Prayer for good luck and fortune are excellent opportunities to surrender your worries to the Lord so He can fill your heart with hope for the future.
Praying for good luck is the best way to ask God for positivity when in doubt. Though nothing happens by chance, prayers help to calm your mind and put your mind into perspective.
These prayers can expectantly help you gain confidence in your endeavours as you look forward to good luck and fortune.
