On Healing

He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
Psalm 107:20 (NIV)

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.  Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.  Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.
Proverbs 3:7-8 (NLT)

And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”  So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.
Luke 9:5-6  (NLT)

They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those troubled by evil spirits were healed.  Everyone tried to touch him, because healing power went out from him, and he healed everyone.
Luke 6:18-19  (NLT)

Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
Acts 4:30 (NLT)

And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. And anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.
James 5:15-16 (NLT)

I have been in the hospital for an extended stay.  The nurses, techs, doctors and other staff are doing all they can for me.  Recently, one of my visitors said, in a cheerful voice on the way out, “We hope for a speedy recovery”.  I replied and said that I am quite happy to have slow but steady improvement.

I used to be able to touch my toes; now, I thank God that I can still touch my knees!

Lord, your Word tells me to pray for healing. I believe you hear this earnest prayer from my heart and that it is powerful because of your promise.  I have faith in you, Lord, to heal me, but I also trust in the plan you have for my life.
