Promises For Healing

We ask You, O Lord God, not to rid us of pain, but grant in Your mercy that our pain may be free from waste, unfettered by rebellion against Your will, unsoiled by thoughts of ourselves, purified by love for our neighbor, and ennobled by devotion to Your Kingdom. We pray this through the merits of Your Holy Son, our Lord Jesus.

For God does not enjoy bringing affliction or suffering on mankind (Lamentations 3:33). Lord, You do not retain Your anger forever, for You delight in showing mercy (Micah 7:18).

I devote myself to listen carefully to the voice of my God and do what is right in His eyes; I pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees. When I do this, I am well, for He is the God who heals me (Exodus 15:26). The Lord my God renews my hopes and heals my body (Psalm 47:3).

I fear the Lord and I shun evil, for this brings health to my body and nourishment to my bones (Proverbs 3:8). I fear His mighty name, so the sun of righteousness [each new dawn] will rise with healing in its wings and I will go free, leaping with great joy (Malachi 4:2).

If I worship the Lord my God, He will bless my bread and water, and will take away all my illnesses (Exodus 23:25). “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord, because we belong to Him (Jeremiah 30:17). “I will certainly bring health and healing, and will indeed heal them. I will let them experience the abundance of peace and truth.” (Jeremiah 33:6)

The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in me. And just as He raised Christ Jesus from the dead, so He gives resurrection life to my mortal body by this same Spirit, His Spirit, living in me (Romans 8:11). I have already passed from death into eternal life (John 5:24). Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You are my life!

Surely Jesus took up my infirmities and carried my diseases. We considered Him stricken by God — smitten by Him and afflicted. But He was pierced for my transgressions, crushed for my iniquities. Punishment for my sin, that brought me peace, was put upon Him; and by His stripes I am healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5) Jesus Himself bore my sins in His own body on the tree — that I, having died to sins, might live for righteousness. By His stripes I am healed. (1 Peter 2:24). Christ Jesus has borne my infirmities and carried away my pains and sorrows (Matthey 8:17).

Jesus Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for me. For it is written: Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. Jesus redeemed me in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith I might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 3:13-14). Abrahams’ blessings are mine.

Bless the Lord, O my soul. Bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion; who satisfies your desire with good things so your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalm 103:1-5)
