As you start reading through these 10 healing scriptures from God’s Word, I want to welcome you. Life can be tough, and these verses offer comfort and hope in challenging times.
Our perception of God affects how we approach life.
As we read these healing scriptures, let’s not only find comfort and healing but also reflect on how our evolving view of God can transform how we face challenges, connect with others, and navigate our faith journey.
May these verses prompt thoughtful introspection and encourage a deeper exploration of how our perspective of God influences how we show up in our walk with Him.
One more thing. In our journey of faith, we’ve been guided on how to learn, memorize, and recite scriptures, yet we often find a gap in learning how to rest, listen, and intimately know His love. Understanding the dynamics of building relationships becomes crucial in bridging this gap.
It’s not uncommon to encounter individuals well-versed in the Bible but lacking a profound connection with God. Let’s delve into these healing scriptures with prayerful hearts, not just reading them but also living them out, especially when faced with challenges.
Embracing both the wisdom of doctrine and the depth of emotional connection, we open ourselves to the fullness of God’s presence. For a deeper exploration of healing scriptures and emotional healing with God, check out my book “Face Off with Your Feelings.”
When we start believing that God is not only good to others but also extends His goodness to us—guiding us kindly and correcting us when needed—our words naturally undergo a transformation.
It’s His love that sparks this change in the way we express ourselves. Let’s explore the richness of these dynamics together.
By the way, what if I told you your feelings aren’t inherently bad or sinful? You don’t need to fear or suppress them. They can be a guide. If you’re interested, I have a free 3-day study on living by faith while processing emotions. Check it out here!
Why Read Healing Scriptures
Through His love, healing finds its way. Our hearts gradually soften, and the walls we’ve built start to crumble. Among God’s many names, one stands out: Jehovah-Rapha, The Healer. Remember, He’s here to heal, not to give you sickness. Dive into the Bible’s teachings on healing to discover the abundance available to you.
As you explore these scriptures, focus on love and relationship rather than just memorization.
Healing is not some distant promise; it’s accessible to us right now. Sometimes, it simply involves welcoming God in and asking for guidance in the areas of our hearts and bodies that need attention. Don’t limit God when it comes to your healing. (There may be recovery time.)
Take a moment with these ten healing scriptures, allowing them to gently remind you of the profound healing power that flows from God’s love.
Praying for peace in your mind and heart as you read through!
P.S. What if I told you that your feelings are not bad, not a sin, and that you don’t need to be afraid of them or to have them?

Sometimes, our physical healing comes when we tend to our emotions (do the inner work with the Father). Our bodies work together as a whole. Our bodies carry what we feel and think.
10 Healing Scriptures
3 John 1:2
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
- I love this prayer and this truth: He wants us healthy

- Health and healing are a part of His will for us
Prayer: Thank You, Father, for guiding us and leading us on Your path to healing and what it means to heal. I pray for guidance and wisdom to walk through my pain with You, knowing I will not be alone.
Isaiah 53:4-5
“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.”
- The word for “griefs” is the Hebrew word choli, which means sickness
- The word for “sorrows” is the Hebrews work makob, which means pain
- Raphe is the word for “healed,” which means to heal, to mend, to cure, to make whole
- One of God’s names is Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals
Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, for taking sickness and pain on the cross for me. I receive and stand in agreement with You for my healing. Thank You for Your Word, love, and healing scriptures, reminding me of what You have done for me.
1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
- When Jesus went to the cross, He became sin for us so that we would be made righteous of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21)
- Jesus took stripes and was beaten for our healing as well
- In physical health and emotional health, healing and health are ours
Prayer: Your Son paid a debt I could never have paid. Thank you for never leaving me in my sin but for making me new. My old man has passed away. No longer am I a slave to it or anything that tries to prosper from it. Amen!
Psalm 103:2-3
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.”
- Remember the benefits that come with accepting Jesus as your savior
- The benefits include forgiveness of all sins and healing made possible
- He’s a good Father. He gives good gifts and provides healing for us
Prayer: Father, thank you for sending Your Son to die in my place. Not by my works do I receive but by grace alone. Thank You for loving me and healing me. I receive Your love, in Jesus’ name.

Matthew 9:20-22
“And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.”

“And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.”
Matthew 9:35
“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.”
- Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing. He is in the business of healing people
- People could simply touch Jesus and the power inside of Him would heal them
- The way we “touch” Jesus is through receiving by faith the power that He has freely provided to us
- He wants to see you well. He didn’t give this to you.
Prayer: Father, all of Your promises are yes and amen. I stand in the promise that You want me well. That I matter to You. I reject anything trying to come against me. It has all been put under my feet because of Your power within me, in Jesus’ name.
Psalm 107:20-21
“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men.”
- Our heart posture matters
- God sent His Word to heal you and deliver you from all of your destruction
- As you are standing in faith for healing give thanks to the Lord
- Our thought life matters
Prayer: Father, I praise You during every challenge I face. I know you don’t cause destruction to come against me or wish evil upon me. I thank You for Your protection and for surrounding me with Your angels, in Jesus’ name.
Psalm 73:26
“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
- There will be times when you don’t “feel” like anything is happening that doesn’t mean that God is not at work in your life
- You don’t have to feel something for His word and promises for your life to be true
- He wants you well, which means you don’t have to believe the lies from the enemy about “sickness”
Prayer: Father, I thank You for continuing to work and heal me even when I don’t see it or feel it. I am thankful that you never change how you feel about me when I don’t feel it in Jesus’ name.
What if I told you that your feelings are not bad, not a sin, and that you don’t need to be afraid of them or to have them?
