Chronic Joy®
Making a difference one precious life at a time.
Chronic Joy is a global resource ministry dedicated to compassionately serving all those affected by chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, and disability by providing accessible, easy-to-use, faith-based educational resources and publications.
CHRONIC ILLNESS
As we journey through diagnoses and treatment plans, loss and isolation, sadness and grief, we can also discover the gifts of laughter, joy, and hope along the way.
CAREGIVERS
A caregiver’s role can be rewarding and exhausting, difficult and joy-filled, meaningful and frustrating, isolating and inspiring—discovering God’s joy as you care for your loved ones.
MENTAL ILLNESS
Stigma, isolation, loneliness, and shame often follow a diagnosis of mental illness. With God, mental illness has no stigma. You are His precious child, deeply loved and fully accepted.

From the Blog
Blessed Are…
Jesus starts to speak about those who are blessed—and what he says rocks your world. In short, blessed are those who stand against the cultural tides and who follow the Lord, for they will find God’s kingdom.
Love Without Labels
To love without labels we must take the time to talk to others and ask questions. Search for that deep treasure within the one who is hurting and longing for a touch of kindness and fellowship.
!["The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him."

Weak or Strong: Let God Do the Hard Stuff
Does it upset me that things seem to grow more difficult with each passing day? Of course! Yet, weak or strong, God's strength is sufficient. Instead of dwelling on my inability, may I always remember that He can do all things, even through one as weak as me.
