Good Morning, God
Ah, Friday the 13th, a day we are supposed to watch out, lest we suffer "bad luck". We must be sure not to walk under any ladders, allow any black cats to cross our path, and not break any mirrors. We can't "step on a crack" because we will "break our mother's back". And, there's a whole bunch more of what we call "superstitions" that we deem especially important to watch for, especially on Friday, the 13th.
Oh, Lord help all of us to believe and know that superstitions are really meaningless. Oh, help us to believe that evil is real and that we need to watch out for it and avoid it as much as possible.
But worrying about walking under a ladder? Only bad if something is dropped from it. Worrying about breaking a mirror? Only bad if we cut ourselves picking it up. Worrying about black cats crossing our path? Only bad for it if we run over it with our vehicles or we happen to stumble over it if we are walking.
As for truly evil things, Lord? Please send your angels and Holy Spirit to guard and guide us this day, especially, but each and every day, for your guidance and protection is real and not just superstition.
In Jesus name, Amen
