Once the stuff hits the fan, it will be too late to get prepared. Being spiritually prepared comes from spending time with GOD through his Word. Psalms 1 compares a man who devotes time to GOD's Word to a tree planted by a stream of water. Even in times of drought, that tree is just fine because it gets its water from the stream. It is not dependent on the circumstances for its well being. Like wise, a man who gets his peace from GOD's Word is not dependent on the circumstances for his peace.
