"Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man."
Prepare for the “assault”
Prepare for the "tribulations”
Prepare for eternal friendship with God
Death is a healthy meditation
to motivate
to live the present day to the fullest
