WELCOME! WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE!

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

At Chronic Joy, we believe every life is vital, precious, and purposed by God for His great glory.

We also believe that we are always #BetterTogether. Life with chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, or disability can be challenging and difficult, but that’s exactly why we need one another.

If you feel the Spirit’s nudge to get involved, lean into His calling, for He’s already preparing a place for you.

Never underestimate the power of a simple text. In just minutes, you can give the gift of encouragement. Remind someone today that they are thought of, cared about, and prayed for.

4. PRAYER

Today, we warmly invite you to spend a few minutes at the Prayer Pond, our safe harbor (and a precious invitation from God) where you can request prayer and #PrayItForward for one another. Our beautiful Make Your Life a Prayer flat cards make sending prayer notes to friends and loved ones easy.

5. PRAYER SHAWLS

Do you knit or crochet? Prayer shawls are blessings of kindness, comfort, and compassion, stitched with prayer and gifted to those who are struggling with illness, painanxiety, depression, loneliness, loss, or grief – as well as those who are hospitalized, recovering from surgery, or facing prolonged treatments. We offer free downloadable patterns for prayer shawls and facecloths.

6. ASK GENEROUS QUESTIONS

Asking generous questions takes courage, curiosity, and gentle tenderness but also connects us in transformational ways. Need a little inspiration? We’ve got several free printables:  Questions of Jesus, 76 Questions for Couples, and Ask Generous Questions.

7. OFFER A SMILE

“Small actions of love are the very definition of humbly serving one another.” (Pamela Piquette in Love in Action) There’s no better place to begin!

In kindness, [God] takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change. (Romans 2:4)
