More on Bible Verses About Healing

The Bible speaks of healing for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. “I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 30:17), and the Psalmist blesses the God “who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:3). Alongside physical healing, Scripture tends just as carefully to the inner wounds, for God “healeth the broken in heart” (Psalm 147:3).

These verses also frame healing as something to pray for in community. James instructs the sick to call for the elders to pray, “and the prayer of faith shall save the sick” (James 5:14-15). Others, like Isaiah 53:5 — “with his stripes we are healed” — point to a deeper, spiritual healing at the heart of the gospel.

Held together, they are both a comfort and a prayer: a hope to hold during illness and recovery, and words to return to when healing is slow.
