Prayer Faith and Surviving What is Coming

Prayer faith and surviving what is coming based on one person's idea of survival strategy.
Prayer, faith in God, wisdom, family, mental stability.
I think, whichever way it happens, it will stretch or snap every mental, emotional and spiritual capacity each individual holds.
Personally, I think it won't be a major event, but a cascading of smaller but deadly combination of events of economic, natural, man-caused, financial, political... basically across the broad spectrum of all human traffic. God is telling us in the last only way He can without treading on our right of choice, that He IS real and He is indeed coming again. Get ready. He's never lied about what He wants of and for us. He's been an open book for centuries. Get ready.
I play the computer card game, Freecell, every once in a while. When I win and the cards start cascading downward, I think every single time that's how the world will be turned upside down. One after another series of events such as Job experienced. Just when someone came to tell him he'd lost something valuable, another person would be making their way to him to exclaim another catastrophe.
But its what we do afterward, like Job, that will decide what happens next. Will we be filled with fear causing us to re-act to events, or will we choose to praise Him after the overwhelming sense of trepidation wears off?
So, this is why I put prayer first. Prayer, or acknowledgment of Him, comes before knowing Him. Faith comes second. Growing in wisdom is a result of faith in God. Witness to your family and the rest of the world naturally follows.
This leads everyone to mental stability, because where the mind wanders off to is where it will end up in crisis. And when a mind is centered in His Peace, nothing else matters (Isaiah 26:3). God said so, not me. Prove Him wrong.
Just my two cents.
