125 Bible verses about God's Protection
There's nothing quite like the peace you find in God, knowing you're sheltered under His wing, safe and secure. Worries just seem to melt away, and you learn to walk with a quiet confidence.
His protection is unlike anything anyone else can offer. Human strength is limited, but God knows everything, sees everything, and can be everywhere, even places no one else can reach. Trust in Him, ask for His protection, and He will watch over you, holding you steady with His right hand.
If you consistently seek His protection, He’ll send His angels to surround you, and no harm will come your way. He’ll be your refuge, your calm in the storm. When those who seek your downfall gather, He will raise the banner of victory on your behalf.
Turn to Him, because there’s no one else on this earth who can conquer your fears and help you through your struggles. Put God first in your home, above your children and everyone else you love, and you’ll see Him become your unshakable fortress.
You won't have to run or live in uncertainty and worry, because God protects those who hope in Him and believe in His Word. He doesn’t lie, and He never breaks a promise. Once you decide to walk with Him, keep His commandments, and follow His teachings, you’ll experience true peace, just like Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
So today, let’s fill ourselves with peace, shake off the chains of fear, and believe that God is our protector, watching over us as closely as He guards the apple of His eye. When negative thoughts creep in, fight back with scripture and remember Psalm 91:9-12: “If you say, ‘The Lord is my refuge,’ and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.”
