Bible Verses About Healing for Body and Soul

Healing in the Bible is bigger than the physical. It reaches the body, but also the broken heart, the guilty conscience, the grieving soul. Here are Bible verses about healing for whatever kind you're waiting on.

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.Psalm 147:3

I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord.Jeremiah 30:17

By his wounds we are healed.Isaiah 53:5

Pray for each other so that you may be healed.James 5:16

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.Psalm 34:18

Close to the brokenhearted

Notice Psalm 34: the promise isn't only future healing, but present nearness — "close to the brokenhearted." Sometimes healing is slow, and what carries you in the meantime is that you're not left alone in it. That's the same thread running through Psalm 23.
