- Under God's defense will be the one who lives under the help of the Lord. As Holy Athanasius believed, in God's assistance, the Divine commandments were meant, who gave the Lord himself to people. Compliance with these commandments is able to protect against demons and any misfortunes. Accordingly, only one who lives in these commandments will be under Divine Protection.
- A man who has an unshakable faith in God can call the Lord his "refuge" and "intercessor."
- The Lord will save a person from the "Lovech Network". "Network Catcher" - an allegorical image that means an attack on the body - physical and demonic (i.e., lust, sinful passion). Also deliver God and from the "Word of Merya", which means slander, causing a rebellion and a towel in the soul of a slander person.
- God loves the truth, so in full security, under a reliable "wing" there will be only the person who is sincerely with the Lord.
- The one who lives in the help of God is not afraid of a nightmare, emanating from demons or bad people (robbers, thieves, etc.), are not terrible arrows - physical, affecting the body, and mental, emanating from demons and passion.
- Living in the help of the Lord may not be afraid of "things, in the darkness of the transient" (demonic passion, fornication), "Demo Human" (laziness, carelessness).
- The one who lives in the help of God will not damage the thousand, and ten thousand arrows. Under arrows implies the temptation for the commission of sins, the devilish carriages, opposing the righteous chance of life.
- God's help will help you to see our eyes with dishwasy people.
- Strong protection on the part of the Lord will come for the reason that the believer relies on God with all his heart and mind, sees his intercession in him.

- Angels will carry the believer on their hands, and the person will not turn into a stone. Hands of angels - a symbol of a guarding force that will protect the person during temptations and heavy life situations. The stone symbolizes sin, everything that the obstacle is virtue.
- The man who relies on God is not terrible snakes and major predators. Aspid and Vasilisk are poisonous snakes. Aspid - a symbol of slander, Vasilisk - a symbol of envy (both its own and from other people). The lion and the dragon symbolizes rigidity and inhuman. The righteous person is able to overcome all these negative manifestations.
- A person relies on God, so the Lord protects him and eliminates any danger. God's name truly knows only the one who leads the righteous life, complies with the commands to them.
- God will hear a person who relies on him if he will call him. The Lord will be in grief with him, will relieve and glorify him in the life of the earth and eternal.
- The Lord gives the Lord to God in the god gives eternal life, and can also extend the life of his earthly.
