But we do have hope. In time, God reveals an undeniable truth that even the most extreme opponents can&#8217;t deny. Praying for eyes to see and ears to hear the Lord\u2019s truth becomes our best defense against the enemy\u2019s ploys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, I learned the term \u201cSoldier Mindset:\u201d <em>people defend what they already believe against what they see as threats<\/em>. I\u2019ve done this myself; ask my husband, who constantly challenges me. As a result, I\u2019ve learned to develop a \u201cGrowth Mindset:\u201d <em>exploring and accepting new ideas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of forcing my beliefs on others, I ask questions and try to understand their position. Then, when the opportunity arises, I plant seeds of truth, praying that they will take root. But ultimately, I leave them in God\u2019s hands, knowing He reveals truth to us all in His sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seek the Creator for truth. He will reveal it to you. No one lies to us more than we lie to ourselves. With the Savior on our side, He reveals the truth in love, helping us become more like Him and less like the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Prayer:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord,<br>Thank You for revealing the truth, drawing us closer to You, and enabling us to share it with others.
