I like the "luck no, faith yes" answer.
I too believe that God is in control of all things. We do have free will, but He's always right there no matter what. He knows what's going on, and He definitely intervenes.
I have to admit, though, that I do say good luck from time to time. I've been trying to quit and say something like "God bless" instead.
I work with the children's ministry at my church on Wednesday nights, and several weeks ago, a couple of the kids was asking me if luck existed, and I told that no, it didn't, that God blesses us. They kinda looked at me like I was crazy. Hopefully one day they'll understand.
