Last night was our Stake Conference. Our Stake President only spoke Saturday night. He spoke a lot about trials and facing them, which was wonderful. Then, against his nature, he gave our stake specific counsel. He said he doesn't like to do that because he wants each one of us to go to the Lord for the counsel we need, but this time he had been prompted to share direction with us.
He admonished us to turn to the Lord is prayer, scripture and gospel study, and by attending the temple. He asked us to read a conference talk daily, and pour out our whole soul in prayer.
He asked us to be very obedient to the teachings of the brethren. He asked us to obey with exactness.
He asked us to set aside food storage, even if we never use it. He also strongly recommended that we take on no new debt.
The last request was that each of us consider what we would change if we lost our job on Monday morning. Then, taking that list, he asked us to make those changes on Monday morning.
I know that by following this counsel, we will be blessed as we weather these uncertain times. We'll be making a few changes come tomorrow. Thankfully, we had already done most of them through the summer.
I think these are good things to consider, whether you are in our stake or not.

I think that is some wise advise.
