Bible verses for healing and the health of your family
What can I pray when someone I love is sick?
You can bring them to God by name. Scripture calls God “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1) and says he “heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3). When strength fails, God remains “the strength of my heart” (Psalm 73:26).
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
A prayer you can pray now
Lord, I bring you the one I love who is sick. Be near them, give wisdom to those who care for them, and give us strength and peace in waiting. Amen.
