There is protection from overwhelming temptation.

“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
1Cor 10:13

However you can lose that protection, so Paul says,

“Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;”
Rom 1:24

You can have protection and lose it, and be turned over to your sins. So how should we think about these things? If we need protection, we should ask for it, however,

First, if you ask, not believing, you won’t get it!

“6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let that man not think that he will receive anything from the Lord. 8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
Jas 1:6-8

Also at times all of us need correction.

Hard things may come to wake us up, to make us whole at last.

“It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?”
Heb 12:7

Plainly we can throw away God’s protection!

In Abram’s day, the sins of the Canaanites were still being tolerated by the Lord. Only later would their land be given to others, Gen 15:16. Later Joshua argued with Israel.

“8 If Yahweh delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; … 9 … for they are bread for us: their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us: don’t fear them.”
Num 14:8-9

Further, if God does not protect us, everything
else is for nothing.

“1 Unless Yahweh builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it.
Unless Yahweh watches over the city,
The watchman guards it in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To stay up late, Eating the bread of toil;
For he gives sleep to his loved ones.”
Psa 127:1-2

And when the righteous are protected
in Psalm 91, who is it that dies?

“7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes,
And see the recompense of the wicked. ”
Psa 91:7-8

Or what would happen if the Jews abandoned God?

“20 Yahweh will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, … because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me. 21 Yahweh will make the pestilence cleave to you, until he have consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.”
Deut 28:20-21

“Pestilence”! Like a corona-virus!

Ah! We can indeed lose our protection!
