Patricia Heaton Reminds "Disappointed" Christian Voters To Put Faith in God, Not Politicians
With the results of the 2022 elections still coming in, many Americans have been wondering what the future has in store. Actress Patricia Heaton decided to take to Twitter to ease the minds of her fellow Christians.
The “Everybody Loves Raymond” actress tweeted, “For those of you who are Christians and who feel disappointed or despairing of the election results, it is a blessing to be reminded that our security does not rest in men or governments, which are finite and will eventually crumble, but in God alone who is ever sustaining.”

While her statement received a lot of criticism, other users found Heaton’s words comforting. User missblue64 tweeted in response, “Amen! God is still on His throne and Christ is still the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. My hope is in Christ.”
Another user, smajors0477, tweeted, “I just want to thank you for being brave enough to step up and use your voice despite it going against the popular opinion of your industry and risking “cancel culture”. It’s unbelievably courageous of you to take that gamble to stand up for what you believe. Thank you!!!!!”

While many Christians wait for the remainder of the elections to be called, it is important to lead by Heaton’s example and look to the Bible for guidance.
Psalm 43:5, ESV, states, “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God.”
No matter what the results are or what trials lie ahead, remember: God is always in control. God never lets anything happen that is not His will, for He has known all of us before we were born.
It is also important for us to try not to be too caught up in politics, for we are not part of this world and this is not our home. At the end of the day, what really matters is our relationship with the Lord and doing His work.
Titus 2:12, ESV, tells us that God is “training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.”
Politicians are flawed, just like the rest of us, but God is perfect and just. As Heaton stated, let us put our trust in Him.
