Bible Verses For Healing And Protection
When we think of healing, we tend to focus on immediate needs. Maybe we’re praying for a loved one with cancer or someone we know who was hurt in an accident. We want God to intervene and heal them. We want consolation and hope by looking at Bible verses about healing.
Scripture definitely addresses healing. Throughout Jesus’ ministry, we see Him taking part in healing. In fact, He stayed in one town late into the evening, healing everyone who was brought to Him (Luke 4:40).
But the Bible talks about other kinds of healing too. It’s not only about healing from our various diseases and pains. Since the beginning, the Lord has been working on a plan to heal us from our tendency to wander from God and sin.
In that sense, the whole New Testament is a story of healing, and many ideas and scriptures in the Bible are about healing, even if they don’t mention the topic explicitly.
Consider Galatians 5:22-23 (New International Version):
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
As the Spirit empowers us to resist sin and imparts these fruits, we are being healed. This is God returning us to our factory settings.
But Bible verses about healing can be about our circumstances too. In Romans, Paul tells us that all of Creation is crying out to be healed from its bondage (Romans 8:18-21).
The biblical topic of healing is not only about something we hope will happen for some of us immediately. It’s also about something that happened for us on the cross and is still being worked out in the lives of those who trust in Jesus.
And ultimately, the promise of healing is the knowledge that our Redeemer lives, and in the end, He will stand on the earth (Job 19:25) and eventually the “perishable will clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality” (1 Corinthians 15:53, NIV), and we will be healed for all time.
Here are 35 Bible verses about healing:
1. I have wounded and I will heal — Deuteronomy 32:39
“See now that I myself am He!
There is no god besides Me.
I put to death and I bring to life,
I have wounded and I will heal,
and no one can deliver out of My hand.”
2. I will forgive their sin and heal their land — 2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
3. Heal me, Lord — Psalm 6:2
“Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.”
4. I will fear no evil, for you are with me — Psalm 23:1-4
“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.”
5. Weeping may last for the night — Psalms 30:4-5
“Sing the praises of the Lord, you His faithful people;
praise His holy name.
For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
6. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted — Psalm 34:17-18
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
He delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
7. The Lord sustains them on their sickbed — Psalm 41:3
“The Lord sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.”
