The psalmist trusted you to deliver and protect;
Solomon's dream held your (conditional) promise of long life;
your angel promised Paul safety for all aboard his ship;
and Jesus predicted his own imminent death.
Your protection does not end
with the end of life as we know it.
"Do not be afraid," said the angel.
