He's got you covered...

John 17:6-12 “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. 
As followers of Jesus Christ, we know that He as always at the right hand of the Father, interceding on our behalf.  This intercession began even before He ascended.  He protectively watches over His own.  He also is constantly seeking to remind us, through His Spirit, of what we need to know and remember for today.  He has given us His words and His Name to protect us and guide us today.  May we accept them and live by them, staying under His protective cover.
