If the Lord will send down angels and warriors to protect his temple (which is considered his house), how much more will he do to protect one of his children (Us, you, me)? Heavenly Father is looking out for us, and though we are mortal and will go through heartache and death, we are protected. In my own life, I have been protected emotionally and spiritually when I was in high school. There were circumstances that made my home life kind of crazy sometimes, and I would feel very alone and very unsure of what I could do to help the situation. But then, I started going to the temple every week. This changed my life. I was able to focus and be more confident in myself. I feel as if it was the Lord's way of protecting me, and I am so grateful for it :)

Protection
I am reading in a book about the Logan temple, and I am amazed at how the Lord will protect his people and the things that are important to the work of the Church. This is one of the stories that stood out to me: Polygamy had become illegal, but people in Logan were still practicing it under the Lord's direction. Two deputy marshals showed up and demanded the records or to come into the temple so they could get the records themselves. Naturally, the people said no and the deputies called in for backup. The group of deputy marshals threatened that they would burn down the temple if they needed to get the records. When one of the temple workers snuck into the temple to pray, he saw that the temple was being guarded by Nephite Warriors. The warriors told him that he didn't need to worry, they would protect the temple and the records. No harm came to the temple. (this is from the book "Logan Temple: the first 100 years" by Nolan P. Olsen. Pgs 169-171).
