Another good question! 

I pray that the worries, cares of this world do not block out any part of my relationship with God.

Once my focus is on the tv, the news, the latest killings, or I'm tuning out the world by watching comedies, I turn off the tv set and pray or do bible study. Something to reset my focus on God.

Yes I see what you are saying.... But where in the Bible do we see people praying for protection from the world?

22 Bible Verses About God’s Protection

by DARYL EVANS ·  Print ·  Email

 

But does God protect us in every situation? In one sense, we’ll never know how many times God actually protected us. However, in a world with free will to make our own choices, we can’t get around the fact that hardships await us—Jesus promised us as much. However, he has a perfect will for us and that includes different kinds of protection.

Featured Bible Verse: Psalm 23:1-4The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

God has a perfect will for us and that includes different kinds of protection.

2Samuel 22:3-4 my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. 4 I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

It doesn't...

I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.
(Joh 17:15)

As a matter of fact it promises us tribulation in the world...

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
(Joh 16:33)

@BacKaran I wonder how you view the verses that @Yowm quoted?

One important thing to be protected from the world is to have the whole armor of God as recorded in Ephesions 6:11-17. Spending time in prayer and study helps build strong walls also. My grandpa used to say that if your feet hit the floor in the morning before you have prayed the day is already off to a bad start. Another important part of being protected is having the word in you, knowing what the Bible says. Jesus always used scriptures to rebuke the devil. It helps to know what God says about situations. I also like to learn the Bible because I believe that someday we won't be allowed to have Bibles and nobody can take the word out of your mind if it's there. Below is Ephesians 6:11-17.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

¹³ Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

¹⁵ And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁶ Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Isn't armor used for battle? So perhaps the armor of God is used to stand... Not to avoid or cower away from the world?

God bless,

[Sing40King]

Protecting yourself from the world is a battle. When we have on the whole armor of God we have strength so there's no cowering. We are suppose to avoid being like the world because we have been transformed.

I agree with YOWM and Sing 40

I've grown thru my trials yet He's protected me against drugs, criminals, He's put Christians  and good doctors in my life and given me discernment. I have a wonderful church family, it's all good even when it's bad☺
