Chronic Hope


Why "chronic hope" ? The Free Merriam-Webster dictionary defines chronic as " marked by long duration or frequent recurrence". I named this blog Chronic Hope as it is my intention that this will be a place where hope, encouragement, compassion and understanding will be the heart of this site.

This is a place for people in all parts of the journey of life.

Call to prayer

"God is our refuge and strength,
   a very present help in trouble. 
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
   though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; 
though its waters roar and foam,
   though the mountains tremble with its tumult." Psalm 46:1-3  NRSV



Today's post is an invitation to prayer for everyone who reads this blog:

Three concerns come to mind:

1.) Those in the path/aftermath of Hurricane Irene
2.) The victims and families of those killed in the attack on the casino in Mexico.
3.) The thousands facing drought and starvation in Eastern Africa

Lord of all, hear the prayers of your people. There are events in our lives and in our world that are overwhelming. Be a refuge and strength for all in need. Lord, hear our prayers.  Amen.
