Protection: Do I trust that God will protect me?
Three Lies the enemy will use:

I don’t need God to tell ME what to do. (1 John 2:16 Pride of life)
The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here. verse 9
