We must do more to get our people prepared for the difficult days we face in the future. Our major concern should be their spiritual preparation so they will respond with faith and not fear. . . . Our next concern should be for their temporal preparation. When the economies of nations fail, when the famines and other disasters prevent people from buying food in stores, the Saints must be prepared to handle these emergencies. (President Ezra Taft Benson, 1988, Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 264)
