What the Bible says about healing
One of God’s names in the Old Testament is “the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26). Healing of the body, of the heart and of the relationship with God are all part of His care, and Jesus spent much of His ministry healing the sick.
The Bible also invites practical faith. James tells the sick to call the elders of the church to pray over them. Prayer for healing is not a last resort; it belongs alongside doctors, medicine and the care of friends.
Not every prayer for healing is answered the way we hope, and Scripture is honest about that. Its deepest promise is that God heals the brokenhearted and will one day make all things new, with no more pain.
