if really wanted to get the gods protection, it is best to do more good, like go for donation, help other people more, teach people to do good, stop doing evil your-self....then the protective god will come near you.

do you believe in cause and effect, things happen for a reason. when you claim you have an incident of bad luck, have you try to understand why it happen?

do some study in the internet on benefits of "metta bhavana", you will understand.
