The Bible affirms God's protective presence, stating He will be with us to deliver us (Jeremiah 1:19).
In Jeremiah 1:19, God reassures Jeremiah by saying, 'They shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.' This promise underscores a vital aspect of God's character: His unwavering protection of His chosen people. The notion that God protects us encompasses not only physical safety but also spiritual preservation, exemplified by His provision of grace to endure trials without yielding to despair. The assurance found in Isaiah 41:10 speaks volumes about this protective nature, as God declares, 'Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.' Thus, the biblical narrative consistently illustrates God's commitment to shield His people from harm.
