Sickness, pain, and brokenness are part of life, but they don’t have the final say. Whether you’re battling physical illness, emotional wounds, or spiritual weariness, the Bible is filled with God’s promises of healing, restoration, and strength.
God is called Jehovah Rapha—”The Lord Who Heals” (Exodus 15:26). His Word assures us that He cares about every part of our being—body, mind, and soul. Some verses declare instant miracles, others remind us of God’s sustaining grace in long struggles, and many point to eternal healing in Christ.
If you or a loved one needs healing today, let these powerful Bible verses strengthen your faith. Read them, pray them, and trust that God’s Word never returns void (Isaiah 55:11).
