Do you need healing in your life? No one is exempt from the brokenness of this world. Physical illness and emotional pain are part of life.

Even conflicts leave every person in need of healing.

Thankfully, the Bible shares how you can receive healing from God for your body, spirit, and relationships.

Here are 9 Bible verses about healing to help you stand on the promises of God for your own life and those you love:

1. Pray for God’s intervention and healing

“Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up.” (Hosea 6:1 NKJV)

If you need healing, draw close to God and receive the comfort He freely gives.

2. Pray for peace

“I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will lead them and repay them with comfort, creating for their mourners the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord; and I will heal them.” (Isaiah 57:18-19 NRSV)

God has seen your brokenness, and He is always willing to rescue you from it.

3. Pray for God to deliver you from sickness and distress

“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!” (Psalms 107:19-21 ESV)

If you are sick and in distress, cry out to God and ask for healing. He hears you, and He wants to restore your body and soul.

4. Pray for restoration in every area of your life

“I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 30:17 BSB)

You probably experienced the pain of loss, illness, and injustice. But do not worry, God sees you. Your Heavenly Father, a God who restores, wants to heal your wounds.

5. Pray that God blesses your soul

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” (Psalm 103:2-5 ESV)

In the psalmist’s mind, the most important thing was to be forgiven by God—even more important than physical healing. Thankfully, God both forgives and heals.

6. Pray for the heart to receive God’s healing

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3 ESV)

It is God’s pleasure to heal you of all your diseases, mend your broken heart, and to set you free from the hand of the enemy. Open your heart. Cry to Jesus. He is always there to lift you up during your lowest point.

7. Pray that God surrounds you with people who can pray for you

“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” (James 5:14 ESV)

God doesn’t intend for you to suffer alone. He doesn’t want you to suffer in private. He uses people to help those who are sick and calls everyone to pray for each other to bring about healing—may it be physical, emotional, or spiritual.

8. Pray for a heart that seeks Jesus more than anything

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 ESV)

Everyone wants healing. Although God can grant miracle healing, sometimes He wants you to focus on Him, not just on the reward. May you pray for a heart that seeks God more than anything. Seek the Healer, not the healing. Seek the Miracle-worker, not the miracle.

9. Pray in the name of Jesus

“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (John 14:13 NKJV)

Keep praying in Jesus’ name because God can do what you ask in His name if it’s according to His will. Praying in Jesus’ name is acknowledging that He alone has the power to heal. Do you need prayers for healing?
