Bible Verses for Healing

Whether the wound is physical or something deeper, these verses speak to a God who heals both.

// the word for this moment

“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”

Jeremiah 17:14 (KJV)

More Scripture for healing

“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”

Psalm 147:3 (KJV)

“And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up...”

James 5:15 (KJV)

What this means for you

Jeremiah's prayer is direct and unguarded — heal me, save me — with no elaborate explanation attached, just a plain ask rooted in who God is. Healing in Scripture isn't only physical; Psalm 147 pairs healing the broken in heart with binding up wounds in the same breath, as if the two are connected. Whatever needs healing in you right now, the directness of Jeremiah's prayer is permission to ask plainly too.

A prayer for this moment

Lord, heal me — body, heart, whatever part of me needs it most right now. I'm not going to dress this prayer up with more words than it needs. You know exactly where the wound is. Bind it up in Your time and Your way. Until then, be my strength and my praise, even in the waiting for healing. Amen.
