Bible Verses for Healing & Recovery

World English Bible

Whether you are facing physical illness, emotional wounds, or spiritual brokenness, the Bible is full of hope for healing. God is described throughout Scripture as Jehovah Rapha โ€” "the God who heals." Jesus spent much of his ministry healing the sick, the blind, and the broken.

These Bible verses for healing span both the miraculous and the gradual โ€” the sudden restoration and the slow, painful recovery. They invite faith, persistence in prayer, and the trust that God's healing purposes are at work even when we cannot see them.
