Prepare for Disaster

Let's face it, each of us will have disasters in our life.  What kind of disaster?

 Wind?

 Water?

 

 

Fire?

 Earth?

 Small Children?

 Some of these might seem pretty scary, but none of them can destroy that which is of most importance.

With each of these Disasters there come a temptation to lose Faith, give up hope, or simply sink into despair.  However we can prepare for this temptation before hand, so that we will not be in despair, give up hope, or lose our Faith.

What is needed for us to be prepared when these temptations come upon us?

Read.

Pray.

  

Go to Church.

It is by doing these small and simple things that the great things are brought to pass.

"You know, brethren, 

that a very large ship 

is benefited very much 

by a very small helm 

in the time of a storm, 

by being kept workways 

with the wind and the waves."

-- Doctrine and Covenants 123:16

"And now, my sons, remember, remember 

that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, 

who is Christ, the Son of God, 

that ye must build your foundation; 

 that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, 

yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, 

yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, 

it shall have no power over you 

to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, 

because of the rock upon which ye are built, 

which is a sure foundation, 

a foundation whereon 

if men build 

they cannot fall."

--  Helaman 5:12
