What does the Bible say about get well?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that God is near to His people in weakness, gives strength and peace, and graciously cares for body and soul according to His wise will. Isaiah 41:10 and Isaiah 40:29 assure believers that the Lord upholds the fearful and strengthens the faint. 3 John 1:2 expresses a fitting prayer for health and spiritual flourishing, while Numbers 6:24-26 reminds us to seek the Lord's preserving, gracious blessing. Christ gives a peace unlike the world's in John 14:27, even when healing is delayed. 1 Peter 5:10 anchors hope in God's restoring grace after suffering, and Proverbs 17:22 commends a joyful heart while never reducing illness to a lack of faith.
