Assure is a transitive verb meaning to inform positively to remove doubt. For example,
The attendant assured us the flight was on schedule.
I assure you nothing is wrong.
Your kindness assured me of your devotion.
In most senses, we assure people that their concerns are being addressed
Ensure is a transitive verb meaning to make certain or guarantee. To ensure is to make sure that something will (or won’t) happen or be the case. For example,
The sunscreen I applied ensures that I will not burn.
You must take the proper precautions to ensure your privacy.
To ensure that we don’t run out again, I ordered more food.
What makes ensure different from the other words is that we only ensure events or states of being; we don’t ensure things
