As the Sorathic powers do their best to escalate the current war in scope and severity; preparation becomes urgent - and since this is primarily a spiritual war, and the world is more evil-affiliated than ever before (so far as we know): spiritual preparation is primary.
The main spiritual preparation for an increased possibility of death (oneself perhaps; but more likely from the broader range of loved ones, family, friends, neighbours) is to be on the right side. This means having primary affiliation not to any socio-political entity; but to the side of God, divine creation and Jesus Christ: to want salvation and be prepared to leave-behind all yours sins (i.e. repent) in order to reach Heaven.
But, beyond that, I think it is a great help to put this mortal life into context; which (for me) is to look beyond mortal life in both directions.
That is; our life now is in a frame; from-within-which we should both be looking back to before this incarnated/ embodied mortal life -- as well as looking forward to after and beyond this life - to what comes after the body dies.
In other words; we need to to understand that birth was not the beginning nor is death the end; and we urgently need to sort-out the relevant realities of this situation for ourselves; what it implies for us, and for everyone-else.
This means that, as well as acknowledging your basic situation; you ought to continue and analyze whether or not you are really satisfied with what you currently are telling yourself is really-true...
And whether you personally endorse your current understanding of "the human condition" from your deepest intuitive convictions.
(...Whether, that is, you are prepared to take individual responsibility for your convictions - and not try to hand-over ultimate responsibility to some external institution or source.)
As of 2023, as we now are; only on such a basis can we be prepared for death - which is vital whether or not any of us (later or soon) are involved in a destructive war.
