Healing scriptures restore our faith and provide us with insight into God’s Heart. When we need healing for our bodies, minds, or spirits, God’s word provides answers for our afflictions. Reflecting on what God says, refocuses our perspective and allows our healing to take place. Rest and read God’s word knowing that it will speak into your situation today.
We know from reading the Bible that these are not empty promises. God fulfills all His promises, every single Word. Over and over He proves His Word is true… and so we can be confident that His Word will come to pass.
Jeremiah 30:17 is a reminder that God will never leave you. his word is alive and active to address on our need for physical healing. This verse gives us insight into the biblical meaning of restoration, healing and wholeness.
For our Lord is greater than any of those health issues or problems. He is able to restore health of all who seek Him. Very importantly, as the above verse says, the almighty God is merciful to those who turn to Him. Moreover, we ourselves go away from Him, by virtue of our sinful living. Even more, we cease to have the protection of His righteous hand because of our transgressions and abominations, But when we repent and turn to the all merciful God, He definitely binds up our wounds and heals us. As the following verse says:
Come, let us return to the Lord . He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
Hosea 6:1
Lord, we know that nothing is impossible for you, you are all we need, you are our healer, our shield, our defender and protector and I thank you for your amazing love and protection. Please bring healing to those who need healing, bring healing to our wounds, our heart, souls, marriages and relationships, O God. Give us peace and strength in the middle of despair and sorrow, and make us whole again as we trust in you, I pray in Jesus' name.
Amen
