Using Psalm 73 as the backbone, the pastor called believers to worship instead of worry, to view themselves as citizens of God's kingdom (not merely a nation), and to engage in spiritual disciplines—corporate prayer, a liquids-only fast for the nation ahead of Election Day, and unified intercession to frustrate the enemy.
