1 Corinthians 13:7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

To be protected is to feel safe.  Safe from harm, safe from hurt, safe from danger.
Harm could be physical or mental.  It could be tearing down someone's self confidence or reputation.
Hurt could mean, physical abuse or mental anguish. 
And danger could be risky , hazardous, or unsafe behaviors.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you. Save me, for I serve you and trust you. You are my God.
Psalm 86:2

Trust is important.  If you can't trust someone you will be suspicious of what they say and do.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
         And do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him,
         And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Hope is vital in life.  If you have no hope what is there to look forward to.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that
you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ...

Roman 15:13

Perseverance doesn't come easy.  It is developed through ups and downs, through successes and failures, and through mountains and valleys.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us
Hebrews 12:1

Father God, thank You for protecting us with Your loving arms.  Help us to trust You more as we learn more about You.  Keep our hope alive as we persevere through the trials and tribulations of this life.  Continue to guide us on our journey to eternity with You.  Amen.
