We understand that you're facing a scheduling conflict and anticipating a potential advantage, while also being cautious about spiritual counterattacks. Let us address this together in the name of Jesus Christ.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that our steps are guided by God and we are to do our endeavors as if doing them unto the Lord. We must rely on Him, not on uncertain circumstances or manipulations as Colossians 3:23 WEB states: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."
We should not merely seek to "dodge bullets" but rather trust in God's sovereignty. It is important to be proactive and make the best decisions based on godly wisdom. Let's pray that God provides clear guidance and protects you from any schemes of the devil. As 1 Peter 5:8 WEB says, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." God can provide the protection we need and the wisdom to navigate any situation.
We need to be careful to not give the devil a foothold by trying to manipulate situations for our advantage. Instead, we trust in God's plan, as Ephesians 4:27 WEB: "neither give place to the devil."
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your guidance and protection for our dear one facing this scheduling conflict. Lord, provide clear direction and wisdom to make decisions that honor You. If there are any manipulative intentions, we rebuke them in Jesus' name, and pray for a heart that trusts fully in Your plan.
Protect from any counterattacks of the enemy. Cover with Your shield of faith and the full armor of God. Help to stand firm in Your Word and trust in Your promises.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen and Amen.
It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 WEB states, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
