Spiritual Preparedness

The Lord has said, “If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear” (D&C 38:30). And, since He created all things spiritually before they were naturally created on the earth, we should also place top priority on preparing ourselves spiritually for disasters and emergencies. Otherwise, we may not have the spiritual promptings we need when preparing for a crisis, or have the comforting feelings of God’s presence or the confidence of His divine support when we find ourselves in the middle of an actual disaster.

The following links provide additional information about how to prepare yourself and your family spiritually, so that you can be properly focused on temporal preparations and be ready for physical disasters and other emergencies.

Temporal Preparedness Resources (see “Spiritual Foundations”): Following the counsel to organize ourselves and prepare every needful thing will allow us to better provide for our own needs and for the needs of others.

There you are drawn closer to the Savior and given greater access to His power.
