Wording help please?

Hi,

Could you please tell me how to differentiate these two words as they seem same meaning to me?

Both mean "guarantee"


I can [ assure / ensure ] you that it is safe.

This medicine will [ assure / ensure ] you a good sleep.

Please [ assure / ensure ] that all lights are switched off.

Your safe can be [ assured / ensured ] in this trip.


Cheers
