The Bible is filled with verses that remind us of the protection of God. As human beings, we need God’s protection to keep us from all harm.
God is able to prevent any evil or destruction from touching us, but since we have been given free will in an evil world we are prone to make mistakes in our choices.
God’s protection comes to us in the form of peace and strength in the midst of despair.
Many times when we pray and seek God’s protection, it comes as a warning that something is on the horizon that we cannot see.
Here are some Bible verses that tell us more about the protection of God:
