Promise of Protection

I love how deeply Moroni trusted in God for His help and protection. Listen to what he told the enemy leader after the battle was over and the Lamanites saw that they would have to either surrender be completely wiped out:
3 But now, ye behold that the Lord is with us; and ye behold that he has delivered you into our hands. And now I would that ye should understand that this is done unto us because of our religion and our faith in Christ. And now ye see that ye cannot destroy this our faith.
4 Now ye see that this is the true faith of God; yea, ye see that God will support, and keep, and preserve us, so long as we are faithful unto him, and unto our faith, and our religion; and never will the Lord suffer that we shall be destroyed except we should fall into transgression and deny our faith (Alma 44).
I love the strength of that promise of protection. I love the confidence it instilled in Moroni and his armies. They fully trusted in the Lord to bless them, protect them, and ensure their deliverance from their enemies, so long as they kept their covenants to Him. I believe that through Temple blessings and covenants, we too have the same promise of protection from God.
